About this place

Summary

A small cluster of teahouses on a forest saddle at 2,060 m, Australian Camp looks straight up at Machhapuchhre's fishtail profile — arguably the best effort-to-reward ratio in the region. Reachable in about two hours from Kande or via Dhampus, making the Dhampus–Australian Camp–Kande loop the ideal beginner weekend trek.
