We will start our hike to Australian Camp from Dhampuphedi in the morning just after having our breakfast traversing through the dense settlement and rhododendron forested area. Bus drive of about half an hour will take you to the hiking start point. The Australian Camp is situated at the altitude of 1,990m and is considered as the best place to see the glorious view of holy mountain Macchapuchhre (Fish Tail Mountain), Mount Annapurna, Mount Dhaulagiri, etc. It is called Australian Camp because in this place, Australians were the first to set their camps before anyone else. We will be staying at the camp overnight.
On this day, we first explore the Australian Camp and interact with the people there, take photos and collect memories to last us for a long time. Then we set out on a hike to Sarankot, which is only a meter high from here. Sarankot is a Village Development Committee in Kaski District in the Gandaki Zone of northern central Nepal and is famous for enchanting views of sunrise and sunset. From here, you can witness the sun glistening in the Dhaulagiri at the northern direction while Annapurna range is also visible during a clear weather day. The beautiful Pokhara city dominates the view in the southern direction. We set out on our trail through forest area to Naudanda just after breakfast. Then, we follow an easy path along hill ridge to a dense settlement where more than one ethnic group resides. We stay here overnight.
We wake up early to catch the glimpse of first rays of the sun embraced by the glorious mountains from a view tower that is at the distance of ten minutes walk from the lodge are staying at. We then return back to the lodge, have our breakfast and set off to a drive back to Pokhara where we will spend some time exploring Fewa lake, the famous David’s fall and Barahi temple, then we will set off on our drive to Kathmandu.

Stumble Bharal adventure on FB and i have never regretted my choice of guide!! Arjun was very accomodative, helpful and attentive. He recommended me one of the best short trek for those with health issues yet can still enjoy the nature to the fullest! We requested for female guide, Shristi. Her patience was very commendable she was experience and she actually altered our route perfectly! We will sure come back and do longer trek! Thanks Arjun & team for the wonderful experience! Hope to see you again!
Great trek organized by Arjun from start to finish. We were picked up from the airport and dropped off at the end of our stay in Nepal. Arjun was a good and friendly guide and made us feel very comfortable during the trek. Highly recommend.
The Annapurna region offers various short treks, with Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, Ghandruk Trek, and Dhampus Sarangkot Trek being among the most popular.
Short treks like Ghorepani Poon Hill and Ghandruk are considered moderate, suitable for beginners and trekkers with some hiking experience.
Gradual acclimatization is crucial. Take your time, stay hydrated, and listen to your body. If you feel any symptoms of altitude sickness, descend to a lower altitude.
While it's not mandatory, hiring a guide and/or porter can enhance your trekking experience, providing assistance, local insights, and allowing you to focus on enjoying the trek.
