Australian Base Camp is a day hike to a wonderful location in Pokhara. It is named Australian camp because a  well known charitable missionary from Australia has opened a school for the underpriveleg children. 

The trek in the foothill of Annapurna Himal provides opportunity to visit villages and experience cultural life of simple folks living in hills. The elevation does not reach over 2000 meter therefore it is not a strenuous trek.  Weather along the trek is quite warm except in December and January. Snow is not expected. The trail is very much used by local people and traders. Teashops dotted all along the trail make the walk interesting. The famous Machhapuchare peak (Matterhorn of Nepal) can always be seen from any point on this trek.
