Pokhara · Things to do

Sarangkot is a world-class launch site. 20-30 minute flights over Phewa Tal with the Annapurnas behind you.

1.8km of zipline dropping 600m at over 100km/h - billed as one of the world's steepest. Book in advance.

A 108ft Shiva above the valley, ringed by 108 lingams. Best at sunset, and far quieter than the Peace Pagoda.

Gondola from Sedi up to Sarangkot - the lazy way to the sunrise ridge, and a fine ride in its own right.

Two hours away, a 228m jump over the Kali Gandaki gorge with a four-second freefall. Day trips run from Pokhara.
