At 9 am, meet your guide in your hotel lobby. Board your private vehicle and drive to Phedi, following the scenic winding highway the offers views of Pokhara valley and the Himalayan ranges. Phedi is located on the way to Nayapool where a long version of Annapurna treks start. Start your walk on the trekking route carved inside forest. Reach the Dhampus village which is one of the most popular village in Annapurna foothills. Dhampus is a typical Gurung village located on the lap of Annapurna. This village is one of the most photographed villages in the Annapurna region. The village settlement is typical with stone paved lanes and faces towards the mighty Himalayan ranges. The view stretches from Dhaulagiri to Manaslu with the major attraction being Annapurna range and Fishtail. Your guide will take you to visit the village to witness Gurung cultures and traditions. After your visit, start your walk to Hemja. The trekking trail is mostly downhill through the forest. It takes 3 hours to reach to Hemja, from which you will meet your vehicle and driver to transfer you back to your hotel in Pokhara.

5.00Fantastic tour with beautiful views over mountains. Tasty momo with chicken for lunch in Australian camp. Trekking with some physical effort but it's worth it. Professional guide, Dipak.
Lovely guided hike with fantastic views

5.00Initially I was a bit concerned that this hike would be too difficult, as I knew the first section up to Australian Camp was very steep. Our guide came to our accommodation the day before to discuss the trip with us and he assured us that if we were struggling, there were options to make the hike shorter if necessary. However, on the day it was fine, yes there are literally over a thousand steps up to Australian Camp, but our guide took it slowly and allowed us to rest whenever we needed to. Once at the top the views were fantastic and well worth the effort. The remainder of the hike was very easy. A very enjoyable day.

5.00I went at the beginning of July, so the hike was a little wet and you couldn't see many mountains, but I still had a wonderful time. My guide, Dipak, knew a lot about the area and was very experienced. He was also very fun to talk with. I highly recommend this day hike!
Really enjoyed this trek, my guide...

5.00Is not a technical climb, the path up and down are mainly carved rocks into stairs. The views are amazing. Our Guide Dipak was great and very accommodating, he even recommended/arranged other tours/activities for us. Not to be missed especially if you have half a day free.
