Day 05: Australian Camp to Sarangkot 6-7hrs
Australian Camp to Sarangkot lies on top of the Hill and is not in the remote parts of Nepal, but it has universal traits to enjoy. The downhill, along with the Brahmin and Chhetri community until Sarangkot, gives you alternative thinking towards this tribe rather than a world-famous Mongolian tribe of Nepal, and once you trek uphill to Sarangkot, the enthralling view of Fewa Lake and lakeside Pokhara would resemble that of romantic painting canvas of a painter.
