Introduction

Sarangkot-Australian Camp Trek 

The trek in the foothills of Annapurna Himal provides an opportunity to visit villages and experience the cultural life of people living in hills. The elevation does not reach over 2000 meters and it is not a strenuous trek. Weather along the trek is quite warm except in December and January and snow is not expected. The trail is very much used by local people and traders and there are many tea shops dotted along the trail with the famous Machhapuchare peak always in evidence. The trek is ideal for those people interested in photography and birding and are not looking for a strenuous time in Nepal.
