The hill station of the Australian Base Camp Hike is an ideal vantage point to view both sunrise and sunset within the majestic Himalayas in the north. It is considered to be one of the best and most effortless short-access trekking routes that goes through the beautiful middle-hill villages of numerous ethnic communities. You have a great chance to see incredible views with changing colors from silvery to golden, plunk up in line wearing a veil in the endless snow-capped, ever-smiling tower, explore local culture, and learn their traditional customs, which are the main attractions for trekkers.
Pokhara Australian Base Camp Hike, known as Dhampus Sarangkot Trekking, is a rather short course compared to others, offering an opportunity to observe the fascinating culture and customs of Nepal’s western mid-hill communities. Inhabitance by friendly Gurung and Magar communities: Dhampus is a beautiful village with some slate-roofed houses, a paved courtyard, and a Buddhist monastery. The trip will remain ideal for those wishing to experience Nepal’s mountain scenery and ethnic culture within a short time. The spectacular mountain scenery from Australia Camp above the Dhampus, Machhapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail), 6,993 m, Annapurna I (8,091 m), to Annapurna IV (7,525 m), Annapurna South (7,819 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Nilgiri (6,940 m), Thapa Peak (6,015 m), Tukche Peak (6,920 m), Mardi Himal (5,588 m), Gangapurna (7,483 m), Lamjung Himal (6,931 m), etc. are the main attraction of the Pokhara Australian Camp. And enchanting views of Pokhara Valley and the Phewa Lake can be seen from the Sarangkot viewpoint.
