If you're staying in Pokhara, a visit to Sarangkot is a must. and although many people choose to catch (expensive) early morning return taxis to this hilltop, it's much the best to head up one day, perhaps a gentle walk up the hill (a pleasure in itself), have your afternoon tea, evening meal up there, maybe enjoy the mountain views (or views across the lake) during sunset, and stay overnight. It's cheap to stay - and if it's only for a night, no need to check out your regular hotel in Pokhara - just regard the few rupees you spend on accommodation as what you would have spent on taxi fare! Yes, you might get stunning view at sunrise - but more likely you'll get it at another time. and who knows, maybe you'll like the place and the people enough that you'll want to 'chill out' there for a few more days... Plenty of good walking in the area, including along the ridge towards Kaski and Naudanda (half day's level walk along ridge to naudanda, and you can get a bus from there back to Pokhara, if you like) ...
