Sarangkot , a high point (1590m) on the ridge north of Phewa Tal, is by far the most popular of the mountain viewpoints around Pokhara. The peaks appear even closer from here than from the Peace Pagoda, though not quite as many of them are visible. Sarangkot's popularity stems mainly from the fact that it's been on the tourist map a lot longer than the Peace Pagoda has, and perhaps also because it has a substantial little village near the top that can provide lodging - many people hike up in the afternoon, spend the night and then catch the views first thing the next morning. As with the hike to the Peace Pagoda, there are various routes to the top and at least one route further along the ridge once you're up there, so a number of different itineraries are possible. You can also cycle up, potentially making this the first stop on a longer cycle trek through the country north of Pokhara.
