Salmon Sushi and Sunrise at Sarangkot

We decided to take up the offer of witnessing sunrise (yes we have had many early starts on our trip in order to see the many spectacular sunrises!) at Sarangkot which is high above the city of Pokhara. From here you can see the fabulous Annapurnas and Fishtail mountain peaks in their full glory as the rising sun (from afar) casts a faboulous array of golden and pink colours over them.

Fishtail mountain peak.

Facing away from the mountains in order to view the sun rising. You can see here that we are fairlly high up (1595m) and how gorgeous the sunrise was.


Here you can see Annapurna I, Fishtail mountain and Annapurna II from Sarangkot.

This photo was taken from just in front of our hotel. Hotel Angel. Yes we liked the name too.
If you look closely you can see the sign in yellow.
I have included this pic to show just how good our view of the mountains was. We actually felt like we wre walking in a postcard most of the time whilst we were in Pokhara.

We were ecstatic to find a fabulous Japanese restaurant (we ended up eating there twice) in Pokhara. Who would believe it? Hence the photo. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
