Sarangkot Mountain Lodge

Hilltop lodge on the Sarangkot ridge

Sarangkot Mountain Lodge is situated high on the Sarangkot ridge, approximately 1,600 meters above Pokhara, offering a panoramic view that extends from the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre peaks down to Phewa Lake and the Seti Valley. From this height, you watch the mountains change colour at sunrise, then see the city lights appear far below after dark. The rooms are constructed from stone and wood, with terraces and balconies facing the range rather than the road, creating a sense of a small mountain retreat rather than a town hotel.

The heart of the lodge is the rooftop infinity pool and sun deck, where the water seems to meet the skyline. A multi-cuisine restaurant, bar with a view, and spa sit just a few steps away so that you can move easily between meals, quiet time, and a massage after a trek or flight. The property backs onto a community forest, giving access to short walks, birdlife, and village paths straight from the door. Guests who want clear Himalayan views without giving up hotel comfort tend to choose this ridge over staying at lake level.
