Today’s hike is relatively effortless, with gradual inclines leading us through terraced farmlands and a magnificent Rhododendron forest. Along the way, we will encounter Australian camp, an exceptional vantage point offering awe-inspiring vistas of the majestic Annapurna mountain range. This particular portion of the trek is a haven for bird enthusiasts as it offers sightings of 488 bird species including the visually striking Himalayan Monal (Danphe), which serves as Nepal’s national bird.
