Overview

The Australian camp Day hike is a single-day trip around Pokhara about 5 miles (8 kilometers). It is one of the easiest treks that is feasible for people of all ages who are seeking quality adventure weekend trips. It is the most popular short trek which boasts some fantastic sunset and sunrise views. Moreover, the magnificent views of the Himalayan Mountains and the gorgeous view of the Pokhara Valley add more beauty to the experience.

Other attractive sceneries of this trek include the beautiful Australian Camp, the hill of Sarangkot and the quaint village of Dhampus. Interestingly, the Australian Camp was named so due to the mispronunciation by the local people. The camp was, in fact, supposed to be an Austrian Camp.

What to Expect on This Hike?

Australian Camp Nepal trek is a fairly smooth trek in the stunning foothills of the Annapurna range. The trip gives appropriate views of the Annapurna Mountain range including Annapurna South (7219m), Annapurna III(7575m), Annapurna IV(7535m), Machhapuchhre (6993m) as well as Hiunchuli(6441m) and so on.

 The terraces of rice fields, the feeling of a fresh cool breeze as well as the proximity to the mountains make this trek an extraordinary one. Additionally, Australian Camp Nepal is located in a place of Annapurna region where there is a lot of rainfall during summer. This results in verdant green forests with lichen growing on the trunks. The sunrise from there is quite a sight to behold.

More About This Trek

This trek is a 1-day trip if we start from Pokhara but other have to travel from Kathmandu to Pokhara first. This hike passes through Dhampus Village, one of the famed villages of Annapurna Sanctuary. So, we get to peek at the cultural and traditional livelihood of the village. Also, sometimes it is also known as Dhampus Village Trek.

Moreover, this is one of the shortest hikes of the whole Annapurna Circuit on the outskirts of Pokhara. Moreover, we aren't charged with the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit cost. The majority of the hikers opt for this trek as a recreation from their hectic busy life as they can commence their trek on weekend getaways. Furthermore, this place is a perfect spot for spending a night in a tent.

The Australian camp is often used by schools and colleges as a picnic spot. However, they have to certain toll fee for that. This place is one of the popular picnic spots because it is the perfect combination of green forests, panoramic views of mountains, and culturally enriched villages.

we also have an alternative choice after the completion of this trek. We can hike around Pokhara valley, do boating in Phewa Lake as well as visit some of the nearby lakes of the Kaski district such as Begnas Lake and Rupa Lake.

Hike to Australian camp

We had a wonderful and memorable trip to Australian camp organised by North Nepal treks organised at a short notice. Yagya was our guide. He shared a lot about local culture and customs. He went out of his way to show us places along the way and explained their history. He made sure we had wonderful time. The sunset and sunrise views over the Himalayas from Australian camp was magnificent and would remember it for ever. Thank you North Nepal team and Yagya for such a wonderful experience.

An Unforgettable Experience

North Nepal Travel offered an exceptional experience with great value and quality service.

Our guide, Niranjan, was remarkable, blending deep route knowledge with storytelling about local culture. His advice shaped our itinerary, enhancing our Pokhara journey. His encouragement inspired confidence and motivation, making our Australian Base Camp hike memorable. I highly recommend them for their trustworthiness and excellent service.

Thanks to Niranjan, we're excited for future challenging treks in Pokhara's beautiful landscapes.
