Introduction to Australian Camp Trek
Australian Camp Trek is one of the easy and short trekking routes located in the beautiful foothills of the Annapurna region. To start the Australian Camp Trek, one has to first go to Pokhara.
Pokhara, a popular tourist town in Nepal, is the starting point for most treks in the Annapurna region. Australian Camp Trek is a short trek from Pokhara, the trek starts from Kande (driving distance is one hour, 30 km) or Dhampus Phedi (driving distance is 45 minutes, 19 km).
The Australian Camp from Pokhara is a good day hiking trip, but without an overnight stay at the Australian Camp, you miss out on the sunset and sunrise views that are most important while taking this trip.
Generally, a two-day trek is good for an Australian camp trek, which includes a night stay at an Australian camp and the next day coming back to Pokhara via a visit to the village of Dhampus.
The trek is a pleasant walk on a Himalayan trail that offers good-looking views over the valleys and dramatic views of the Annapurna mountain range including Mount Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m), Hiunchuli (6434 m), Machhapuchhre (6,997 m).
