Day 1: Pokhara → Drive to Ulleri → Ghorepani Pickup around 7:00-7:30 AM. Drive to Ulleri, roughly 1.5-2 hours. From Ulleri, trek 3-4 hours through rhododendron and oak forest to Ghorepani, arriving by mid-to-late afternoon. Rest before an early start the next morning. Overnight teahouse.
Day 2: Ghorepani → Poon Hill (3,210m) → Tikhedunga Wake around 4:30-5:00 AM. The climb to Poon Hill takes 45 minutes to an hour, timed for sunrise around 5:45-6:15 AM. Fifteen to thirty minutes at the summit for the panorama, Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre. From there, the trail continues down through Ghorepani to Tikhedunga rather than backtracking, roughly 5-6 hours of walking total. Long, but downhill, and it keeps day three short. Overnight teahouse.
Day 3: Tikhedunga → Nayapul → Drive to Pokhara An easy 1-2 hour descent to Nayapul, then drive back to Pokhara, roughly 1 hour, arriving by late morning or early afternoon.
