Naudanda to Sarangkot hike from Pokhara

Información

The mother of all hikes on the roof of the world is this epic trek from Naudanda to Sarangkot. This is a long walk that takes somewhere between seven and eight hours. It’s intensive and demanding but immeasurably rewarding as you will see stunning scenery, meet the most amazing villagers and experience a surprising number of cultures during the day.

The adventure begins bright and early at 6am to avoid the heat of the day. Drive for about 45 minutes from Pokhara for Naudanda, a hillside hamlet that has barely been touched by the sands of time. From Naudanda you will see the world waking up and the sun rising above the Himalayan peaks, which will act almost as a compass during the route.

Along the way you will see farmers working on the land and meet ever smiling children on their way to school. You will pass through villages settled by various ethnicities such as the educated Brahmin caste and the warrior class Chhetri. This allows you a rare chance to see how different communities live. On top of the cultural variety, you will enjoy spellbinding landscapes of the Himalayas and Lake Phewa as you progress. Expect to hike between three and four hours before reaching Sarangkot.

At Sarangkot, you will experience a dramatic natural vista before your eyes as eight majestic mountains rise from the earth to touch the heavens before your eyes. The reflection of sunlight from a snowcapped peak is always a breathtaking sight. From Sarangkot, hike down to Pokhara in approximately three hours.

Meeting/ pick-up point: Hotel lobby.
Duration: Eight hours.
