Insider Tips
- Sarangkot sunrise is unbeatable — leave at 4:30am for the panoramic Annapurna view
- Paragliding from Sarangkot (~$80) is one of the world's top tandem flight spots
- The 4-day Poon Hill trek is the easiest Annapurna sampler — no permits beyond TIMS + ACAP
- Lakeside is the tourist strip; Damside is quieter for stays if you want fewer bars
