Annapurna base camp trek

Annapurna short trek, as the name suggests it is the shortest trek in Nepal offering the magnificent views of Himalayan ranges with around the Pokhara valley trekking and hiking along the way to Australian camp and Sarangkot. It is considered as the ideal family holiday. The trail along the route is equally beautiful, passing through the Rhododendron forest that blossom during the spring season, small villages inhabited by mixed ethnic groups and of course the eye catching view of Himalayan ranges like Annapurna I, Fish tail, Dhaulagiri, NIlgiri and other snow-capped mountains.

Short trek in Nepal begins after taking a short mountain flight from Kathmandu to scenic and adventurous Pokhara city. Pokhara is famous for its natural beauty filled with lakes, caves, waterfalls, surrounded by valleys and views of magnificent Himalayas. We head further towards Australian base camp passing the small Dhampus village. The Australian base camp is also famous for its spectacular mountain view. The very next day we cross the naudada to reach sarangkot from where you can see the bird’s eye view of scenic Pokhara valley. We return back to explore the beautiful Pokahra city and end our short but worth a visit trek after flying back to Kathmandu.

If you have limited time and want to grab the trekking experience along with magnificent views of Himalayas then this Annapurna short trek around the Pokhara valley is an ideal option for you.
