58.29 Nepal: Sarangkot Hike: The second trip to the top with a different peak view and some perspective of the Pokhara region.

We left Nepal at the end of May and still have quite a few hikes that we never posted. Whether one is impressed with mountains or not, the sheer altitude of the Himalayas dwarfs most other ranges. The Annapurna's highest peak is no less than 26,545 feet. There are high mountains in the contiguous United States, none however, reaching above 14,505 feet. 

From our peak, we look down to the other side of Pokhara.
Bring the camera up a little and there's the Annapurna range including a favorite, Fishtail. 

  Facing the other side, the place from which we commenced, we view the lake and city. 

A view from a different position. 

 
Shanti Stupa, The 'Peace Temple' on the range across the way.
The Stupa, city of Pokhara and lake viewed from a different hike at a much lower altitude. In addition, The Shiva Temple can be seen to the right of the Shanti Stupa, the high point.
For perspective, an approach to the Shiva Temple via the stupa.
Jen beyond the Shiva Temple, apparently a 'brake failure'.
Cheers,
