Route shape

Drive from Pokhara towards Kande, walk up to Australian Camp and continue towards Dhampus or return by the agreed trail. Pickup depends on access and the selected route.

Time and pace

Choose a full walking day or a more relaxed overnight stay. Uphill sections and steps still require suitable footwear and a realistic pace.

Views and stays

Mountain views depend on the weather. If staying overnight, confirm the lodge and room details ahead of time.

Access and documents

Check local access and any documentation relevant to the exact trail. The name Australian Camp should not be confused with Annapurna Base Camp.

Vehicle support

A private drop-off and agreed pickup keep the walk flexible. Share your group’s walking experience and mobility needs.

Documentation: Nepal Tourism Board lists revised TIMS and licensed-guide provisions for specified routes, including several Annapurna treks. Requirements depend on your itinerary and nationality; confirm them with the agency and relevant authority. Read NTB guidance. For Annapurna conservation permits, see NTNC permit information.
