Village in the Gurung (Pokhara) region, known for the panoramic sunrise view from the Poon Hill lookout which adjoins the centre.
My suggestion
If you have limited time to spend in the region of Pokhara and would like to do a (short) trek, Ghorepani/Pony Hill could be a very good option.

Ghorepani is a rebound leg of the Annapurnas tour, because after a real descent in altitude, the journey from Tatopani to the village involves ascending 1600 metres.
My suggestion
Two remarkable centres of interest: the Rhododendron forests, and the view from Poon Hill in the early hours, which offers one of the most beautiful sunrises of the entire Himalayan range.

A must do if you want to go to Poon Hill.
My suggestion
Stay on the outskirts of the village, up high, to have the best view.

Ghorepani, the third stage of the Annapurna balcony trek , is also the access point for Poon Hill.
My suggestion
I would recommend that you stay in the higher part of the village as that will help shorten your journey to Poon Hill if you want to go there.
A spiritual getaway, far from the hustle and bustle of Thamel.
Situated just 5 kilometres from the city, Boudhanath is one of the most revered Buddhist shrines in Nepal.
