A Short Himalayan Escape near Pokhara

(2 Nights / 3 Days | Organized by Pure Sherpa Adventure)

Looking for a short trek with big views? The Dhampus–Australian Camp Trek is the perfect 3-day hiking getaway near Pokhara, ideal for those who want to experience Nepal’s mountain beauty and local culture without going too far or high.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Pokhara to Dhampus, a charming village of traditional stone houses and peaceful courtyards, offering stunning views of the Annapurna range. After a short trek through terraced fields and forests, you’ll reach Australian Camp, nestled in the heart of the Dhampus jungle. From here, enjoy panoramic views of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Dhaulagiri, Himchuli, and more—views that rival Poon Hill.

On day two, you’ll hike through quiet forest trails to Naudanda for lunch, then continue to Sarangkot, a ridge famous for its sunrise and sunset views over the Himalayas and the sparkling lights of Pokhara city and lake at night.

This easy trek is led by experienced Sherpa guides from Pure Sherpa Adventure, ensuring a safe, authentic, and memorable experience in Nepal’s lower Himalayas
