Sarangkot Sunrise

Description

We were up at 5am so we could leave the hotel in Pokhara and drive up to Sarangkot in time for sunrise overlooking the mountains - the only real chance to see them as cloud covered them for the rest of the day, and the place everyone seemed to recommend going. After reaching the parking area it was a short hike a few hundred meters up the hill, passing the busload of tourists and buildings advertising rooftop terraces for viewing the sunrise and found a small area with nobody else around apart from a small shop with a man selling tea. And shortly after we arrived, got a view of the sun lighting up the Macchapucchre mountains and a mist down in the valley, but after about an hour the mountains got hazy and clouds started to cover them again.

This was probably one of the better shots I got of the sunrise, looking back down the hill we had climbed up and overlooking the rooftops packed with people competing to take photos, while we were only a few hundred meters further up with nobody else around.
