Description
Sarangkot-Australian Camp Trek in the foothills of Annapurna Himal provides an opportunity to visit villages and experience the cultural life of people living in the hills. The elevation is not over 2000 meters and is not a strenuous trek. Weather along the trek is quite warm except in December and January, and snow is not expected. Local people and traders very much use the trail, and many tea shops are dotted along the trail, with the famous Machhapuchare peak always in evidence. The trek is ideal for those interested in photography and birding who are not looking for a strenuous time in Nepal.
