Hire a taxi. Need to walk about 45 mins to the top. It's stunning. Recommand to see the sunrise.

A little farther view than standing on poonhill but still a great view, especially when the sky is clear. Go during the sunrise, so you'd have to wake up a little earlier... But well worth it.

The openness of the whole Annapurna masiff is overwhelming. I did not get a 100% clearsky and still it was amazing.

Tip: when you take the taxi there in the morning, don't get impatient and get out at the first backlog of cars... Your not there yet. That's the "toll collection" line.

its a beautiful location from where one can see the sun rise. The moment sun rises its rays gives the golden glow to the snow clad Annapurna range and its a breathtaking view. Also paragliding from Sarangkot is a great experience

Worth the trip! Disappointed that the view was obscured by haze, which may be a seasonal thing. The walk back down (with a guide) is also worthwhile unless you have knee problems.
