★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 100 reviews · from $8Our pick

Watch sunrise over the Annapurna range, visit Bindabasini Temple, Davis Falls, Gupteshwor Cave, and Pokhara’s Mountain Museum for $8.

“Sarankot is a beautiful smaller mountain that overlooks Phewa Tal lake and the Annapurna mountain range. Getting up early to see the sunrise there is really worth it. The pastel purples and pinks as the sun rises and reflects off the snowy Himalayas is breathtaking. I can highly recommend MTK Trekking and the Sarankot Sunrise tour. They are my go to tour booking company I've used them a few times.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7 reviews · 7 hours · from $19

Review of Pokhara’s $19 bus sightseeing tour, covering caves, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints, fees, transport, and guide expectations.

“This is the local city tour bus, where you won't find an English-speaking tour guide (for everyone else, it was priced at a third of what I paid as a solo traveler). Someone on the bus catered to the tourists from India and the couple from Kathmandu. I was the lone Westerner. Had it not been for the lovely couple from Katmandu, I would have been completely lost. Because of them, this tour was what it was; they took me under their wing. And by luck, it was a Hindu holiday, so some places were free, and it was festive as well.”
