Sarangkot Mountain Lodge

Pokhara, Nepal
Sarangkot is Nepal's finest sunrise viewpoint, and this is the lodge that sits right at the top of it.
At 1,600 metres, every one of its 28 deluxe rooms and 2 suites looks directly out at the Annapurna range from a private balcony. The rooftop infinity pool with that panorama in front of it is as good as it sounds. Next door, Zipflyer Nepal runs 1,850 metres down to the valley floor with a vertical drop of over 600 metres, one of the longest and steepest zip lines in Asia.

What we love

    • Watching the sunrise turn the Annapurna range from grey to pink to gold from your own private balcony is one of the great Nepal experiences and this lodge is perfectly placed for it
    • We love the rooftop infinity pool. With that view and those mountains, it is genuinely one of the most spectacular pool settings in the country
    • The Barahi group cares about responsible tourism and it shows in the warmth and attentiveness of the staff
    • For anyone wanting an adrenaline fix, Zipflyer Nepal next door is an extraordinary thing to do, with the mountains all around you

The road up to Sarangkot is steep and winding, which is part of what makes the setting so dramatic. It is not a property to choose if easy access to Pokhara town is a priority

The sunrise is the main event here, and it requires an early alarm; most guests are up by 5am or before. The lodge is specifically designed around this experience rather than offering a wide range of on-site activities or dining variety

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North Eat India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
