Australian Camp Day Hike from Pokhara with Dhampu Village

Our representatives will pick you up from the hotel and take you to Kande in a private vehicle. The vehicle is decided based on the number of people in the group. You can have the breakfast before starting the journey.

Besides, we also encourage you to check your backpacks and make sure that you do not miss any of the important things to carry or documents as well.

Hike to the Australian Camp (1.5 to 2 hours of hiking)
After reaching Kande, you will get out of the vehicle and start hiking up to the Australian Camp. The route is pretty steep right from the start and you will be accompanied by forest throughout the journey.

Furthermore, you can also enjoy the awe-inspiring view of the snow-covered mountain peaks.

The journey requires you to walk for over 8 kilometers and for about 2 hours. However, the whole route is worth hiking up. Once you reach the Australian Camp, you will start seeing beautifully settled villages, farming, and agriculture.

The green and white colors (referring to greenery and snow-covered mountains) surround you. Besides you can also experience the peak of hospitality offered by the locals residing in this area.

You can also have your lunch here at the Australian Camp as you might be tired and hungry of walking for a couple of hours. After resting and spending good times in the Australian Camp (2060 meters), you are again set on a journey towards the Dhampus Village.

Hiking towards Dhampus Village (2-3 hours of hiking)
From the Australian Camp, you will follow another hiking path towards Dhampus Village. Reaching Dhampus from Australian Camp takes approximately 2-3 hours as you need to cover a total distance of 4.7 kilometers.

The trail passes through lush vegetation and eye-soothing scenes of the mountains. Remember that, almost all the hiking routes are accompanied by the sight of snow-covered mountains.

Dhampus is a beautiful village settled at an altitude of 1650 meters above sea level. Besides, this village is famous for its old, traditional-style houses, Guring civilization, beautiful terrace farming, and mesmerizing views of the white snow peaks.

Furthermore, when you reach Dhampus, you will also love to witness the hospitality offered by the Gurung people.

Descend to Phedi and Drive Back to the Hotel
After spending some time in the lap of nature with the friendly and cheerful Gurung people, you get back on your journey down to Kande. As we will already be at an altitude of 1650 meters and the way is downhill, it won't take much to reach Phedi. At Kande, our representatives will be waiting for you and they will drop you back to the hotel in a private vehicle. That marks the end of the Australian Camp Day Hike from Pokhara to Dhampus Village.
