Race two-by-two off Sarangkot and drop 600 metres toward Hyangja with the Annapurna range framed ahead. This 1.8 km zipline combines Himalayan panorama, short local drives from Lakeside Pokhara, and a high-adrenaline descent suitable for most travelers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The wind opens like a door as you step off the launch platform at Sarangkot—trees drop away beneath you and the Annapurna massif fills the forward view. For a few long seconds the valley rearranges itself: Phewa Lake glints below, the Seti River threads the gorge, and the forested slopes crawl backward as gravity pulls you toward the landing village of Hyangja.
