"A cable car from Pokhara's Lakeside to the Sarangkot viewpoint, in about 20 minutes."
Annapurna Cable Car (Lakeside-Sarangkot), Pokhara Overview
The Annapurna Cable Car carries visitors from Pokhara's Lakeside area, near Phewa Lake, up to Sarangkot, the hilltop known for its sunrise views of the Annapurna range. The one-way trip takes about 15 to 20 minutes, replacing the steep road or trail climb with a covered ride over forested slopes. A free shuttle runs from Lakeside hotels to the lower station. Tickets cost around NPR 1,000 for SAARC visitors, with different pricing for other nationalities. It operates daily and ranks among Pokhara's higher-rated attractions on review sites.
Sarangkot has long drawn travelers on foot or by jeep for sunrise views over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges above Pokhara. The Annapurna Cable Car offers a faster route, linking the Lakeside area beside Phewa Lake to the hilltop in about 15 to 20 minutes each way, with cabins crossing pine forest and terraced hillside along the way. The lower station sits a short distance from Lakeside's hotels and restaurants, and a free shuttle covers that stretch for visitors staying nearby. At the top, riders reach the same viewpoints long used for sunrise photography and paragliding launches over the valley.
