More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cool, predawn hush sits on the ridge at Sarangkot as the van curves into place and the first light teethes the Annapurna range. Travelers trade the bustle of Kathmandu for sky-stretched mountain faces, the lake below catching shards of color, and a day paced around viewpoints, waterfalls, and caves.
