2 Days 1 Night Australian Camp Hiking
What your day looks like
In reality "Thulo Kharka," which is big field, is the true name of Australian Village. From the villages below Dhampus and others, it used to be a seasonal herding area for bison and cow herders. The hikers were unknown or not so common until the beginning of the 90s while the path to Annapurna's sanctuary Trek or Annapurna Basin was already famous with Phedi–Dhampus-Pothana –Deurali–Landruk–Chhomrong, the road is just 15 minutes west of the area. It is said that people from Austria considered it so stunning during the late 1980s and used to stay camping for several days because it was such a quiet, untouched view of the mountains. From then on people began naming it Austrian camp, and since the local Nepalese people had difficulty pronouncing it, and then pronouncing it Australian camp, the location had new name as Australian camp. Located on the lovely hill top of the campsite, Australian Camp provides a stunning view of the valleys and the Annapurna Mountain Range. The venue is on the northwest side of Pokhara. We continue our walk from Kande after about an hour. The trail is steep; through stone staircase for about 1.5 to 2 hours hours to get Australian Camp, situated on the ridge and having an incredible view of Annapurna South (7219 m), Hiunchuli (6440 m), Machhapuchhre (6993 m) and Lamjung Himal.
