One of the most popular short treks in Nepal is the Australian Camp Trek. This trek offers rewarding views of the Himalayan ranges of Annapurna, Machhapuchare, and Dhaulagiri, as well as stunning views and beautiful green hills. This trek will take you through the villages of numerous ethnic groups, including Magar, Gurung, and Brahmin, where you will learn about their cultures and traditions. An Australian camp trek might be the best option for trekkers who want to see the Annapurna ranges up close and personal on a short hike.
A representative of Adventure Glacier Treks will meet you at the arrival gate of Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), Kathmandu. And you will be transferred to a hotel, after which there will be a briefing about the necessary procedures, the climbing route, and your climbing permit. Depending on your arrival time, you can spend your free time visiting nearby temples or taking a break.
Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara by tour bus. Usually, "tourist" buses depart from Kathmandu at 7:00 a.m. and take 6-7 hours depending on road conditions. After arriving at the hotel, take a break if you're tired or go for a walk around the Lakeside or maybe paddle some of the lakes. Overnight at the hotel

For today, we'll go sightseeing in Pokhara, which is known for Phewa Lake, so we'll go boating in Phewa Lake and visit Tal Barahi Mandir, which is located in the middle of Phewa Lake. Then we'll go to the World Peace Stupa (Shanti Stupa shrine), which was built as a peace symbol. Anadu Hill is 1100 meters above sea level. The Peace Stupa offers a stunning view of Phewa Lake, the mountain range, and Pokhara Valley. The monument's picturesque beauty is quite captivating, and its tranquil vibe is worth a visit for those seeking it. We will also go to Davis Waterfalls, which are unique in the country due to their natural beauty. It denotes the point at which the Pardi Khola stream disappears underground, leaving no trace of its existence. We'll also go to Bat Cave, also known as "Chamero Gufa" in Nepali. Bats can be found living on the cave's ceiling and walls. You can walk around the lake in the evening.
