Looking out over the Myagdi District, you can see snow-capped mountains and clouds rising above them, with layered green hills. The view is vibrant and lush.
At dawn, from Sarangkot, the Annapurna Massif overlooks the Pokhara Valley, with its layered mountain ranges and terraced village landscapes.
Snow-capped mountains reflect in the serene lake, with snow-dusted peaks and ridges framing the sunrise. The morning light paints the sky with hues of pink and gold.

Product Info

Begin your adventure with a 45-minute drive from Pokhara to Kalikasthan Bazaar. From there, embark on a hike to Thulakot, a scenic hilltop and historic fort located about 17 km northeast of Pokhara in the Kaski District.

Sitting at an altitude of approximately 1,450 to 1,800 meters, Thulakot is considered one of the best 360-degree viewpoints in the region, offering a quieter alternative to the more crowded Sarangkot.

Hike along a trail that is generally classified as easy to moderate and is a popular choice for a day trip combined with Begnas Lake. The climb from Kalikasthan to the summit takes about 1 to 2 hours.

Once you reach the top, take in face-to-face views of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and the iconic Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). See multiple lakes of the Pokhara Valley at once, including Begnas, Rupa, and Phewa.

Learn about the historical significance of Thulakot, which was once a strategic lookout and fort palace (Kot) for the ancient Chaubise kingdoms.

After taking in the views, descend toward Begnas Lake (approx. 3 hours) for a lakeside lunch and boat ride.
