Surroundings
Superview is located in the foothills of the heavenly Annapurna range and is surrounded by culturally and naturally rich villages and towns that are incredibly earthy.
Fishtail, seen on the background, is one of the very few
vigin places on earth. It such a dangerous peak to ascend that,
as the tale has it, after no one that went to climb the
mountain came back, the government altogether banned anyone
from mountaineering it. Mount Fishtail (Or Machhapuchre, in
Nepali, which literally translates to fish tail) is of great
religious value for Hindus as it is believed to be dwelled
by the lord of the lords.The hill on the foreground is our home, Sarangkot!
This is the way one takes on his way Sarangkot. As we know how way leads on to ways, this too is just a way that preceeds the ways to other soul-touching Himalayan pilgrimages.

Stones, mud and wood are Nepali's favorite materials
for construction.A two-hour drive from the lodge takes you to Kwivang, a traditional Gurung community village on the edge of Mardi river, glacier river that flows from Mardi Himal.
Villagers of Kwivang have paved fine stones all throughout their neighborhood. This is an extraordinary example of love and tribute these villagers have shown towards their ancient construction material, which if done properly produces so much finer and unique work than the stereotypical construction materials do.
