Enjoy breathtaking views of the Annapurna Massif and the iconic “fish-tailed” peak,

Machhapuchhre. MLN Dhampus is where you’ll stay the night.

Following breakfast, you start your trek towards Australian Camp via Pothana. This journey

leads you through the foothill forests of the Annapurna range. Walking through terraced

farms and settlements, you’ll encounter enchanting Rhododendron forests during their

blooming season. Upon reaching Australian Camp, a breathtaking panoramic view of the

Annapurna Range and Machhapuchhre await. Once named ‘Thulo Kharka’ or ‘big pasture,’

this location served as grazing grounds for cow and buffalo herds. However, in the 1980s,

Austrian trekkers recognized its majestic vistas, leading to its current name, ‘Australian

Camp,’ as locals mistakenly associated Austria with Australia. Your night will be spent at

MLN Dhampus, enjoying the incredible view of the Annapurna massif.

As you near Kande, villages and settlements come into view. After the trek, you’ll reach

your transportation at Kande and proceed to drive to Pokhara. Upon reaching Pokhara,

you’ll then board a flight back to Kathmandu.
