From Pokhara: Kaskikot Guided Hike with Breakfast & Transfer｜Nepal

Begin your adventure with a private car or taxi ride from your hotel in Pokhara to Sarangkot. Arrive at the viewpoint tower just in time to watch the sun ignite the Annapurna massif in shades of gold. Enjoy a hearty breakfast at a local ridge-side tea house, looking down over the waking Pokhara Valley.

Leave the bustling sunrise crowds behind and head westward along the spine of the ridge. Walk along a mix of rustic dirt paths, ancient flagstones, and minor dirt tracks. The ridge acts as a geographical divider, offering a stunning view to both sides.

Arrive at the base of Kaskikot Hill and follow a steep, grand flight of stone stairs cutting directly up through a shaded grove. Step onto the summit of the ancient fort. Spend an hour exploring the stone ruins, visiting the Kalika temple, and resting.

Descend from the fort and continue walking along the ridge trail towards the west. The trail drops down into lush agricultural terracing, weaving through local hamlets and citrus orchards. Arrive at Naudanda, a lively junction town located right on the Pokhara-Baglung Highway. Enjoy a local lunch or a cold drink here.

Finally, board your car or taxi at Naudanda. The drive takes you back down into the valley via the highway, passing the lower river plains.
