Trip Reviews (1)

An enjoyable day hike to scenic Sarankot Hill, a very exciting and pleasant walk. Although it was a steep climb for some hours, but rewarding facing amazing views of the Annapurna, Manaslu, and Dhaulagiri range of peaks. Sarankot Hiking Tour is recommendable for all types of people having time in Pokhara. It was great walking through farm villages, greeted by friendly and smiley villagers. I was very pleased and satisfied with the arrangement for this lovely scenic hike in a short time. 
 Thanks to Team Himalaya for the wonderful hike to Sarankot Hill with brilliant sunrise views. The guide was caring and fulfilled all our requests making it much easier to choose the right types of foods to enjoy.
