Additional Information

If you are planning to do the Australian Base Camp Trek, then you need to be aware of the weather, the climate at different seasons, the best time to do the trek, food and accommodation throughout the trek, and the packing list for the trek.

With these comprehensive descriptions of the general information, you can get the things to consider for the trek that will make the journey even better and more exciting.

Best Time to Have Australian Camp Trek

The best times to do the Australian Camp Trek are autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May). These seasons provide the best experience of trekking on the landscapes of Nepal, with stable weather, mild temperatures, clear skies, and spectacular mountain views.

Spring (March to May)

Spring is considered the best season to have the Australian Base Camp Trek, as it provides the best experience with a stable climate and better views of the different mountain ranges.

Spring in Nepal is famous for the blooming of rhododendron flowers. It is an ideal time to trek in the Annapurna region, as you can see the hillsides along the trails covered with vibrant red, pink, and white rhododendron blooms. In addition to the spectacular mountain vistas, the scenario is even more beautiful.

The days during spring are warm with a mild temperature, making them perfect for hiking. Also, spring brings fresh, clear air to the region, making the trek even more enjoyable. At this time of year, there are more chances of encountering various bird species and perhaps some wildlife as you pass through the dense forest.

Other than natural beauty, during this season you can interact with the local communities in the region along the way. Spring is a festive time in Nepal, with various cultural festivals and celebrations taking place, offering you a chance to experience the local culture and traditions.

Autumn (September to November)

Autumn is also considered another best season to have the Australian Base Camp Trek because of it’s ideal weather, breathtaking mountain views, and comfortable trekking conditions.

The ideal weather conditions of this season make it one of the most popular trekking seasons in Nepal. The days are sunny, and the nights are cool but not too cold, making it comfortable for trekking and enjoying the outdoors.

During this season, you can enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the Annapurna and Machapuchhre mountain ranges. With the clear skies, you can have excellent visuals, allowing you to fully enjoy the mountain views.

You can have a comfortable trekking experience because of the moderate temperatures and dry weather. The trails are less muddy, and the risk of rain or snowfall at higher altitudes is significantly reduced.

Moreover, during this season, Nepal celebrates several cultural festivals, including Dashain and Tihar. With this trek, you may have the chance to witness and participate in these celebrations in local villages along the way.

Australian Base Camp Trek Difficulty

The Australian Base Camp Trek is moderately difficult. In this trek, there are fewer chances of getting difficulties as the trails are easy and the trekking days are shorter.

It generally involves 3-4 hours of hiking on average, so anyone who can hike for hours at a normal pace can do this trek without any difficulties.

In the Australian Camp Trek, we will have a maximum altitude of 2,100 m, which is the base camp, so the altitude-related problems are of less concern. It is suitable for trekkers of all levels because it does not necessitate technical trekking skills.

Even if you are a beginner in trekking, this trek provides a better kick-off to trekking on the lands of Nepal. You can have the experience of trekking by this trek and pursue other longer days of trekking like Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Everest Base Camp Trek, Langtang Region trek, etc.

Weather and Temperature during the Trek

The weather and temperature are the major considerations during the trek. You need to be aware of the weather and temperatures of the different seasons before planning the trek to Australian Base Camp.

Food and Accommodation

During the trek to Australian Camp, you can have a wide variety of food and accommodation. Since this trek is less known than the popular treks Annapurna Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Sanctuary Trek in Annapurna Region, you won’t find much difficulty in getting better accommodation and food.

For food, you can use Nepali Dishes and International dishes available in different guesthouses and lodges. In Nepali dishes, we have Dal Bhat (lentils and rice), momos (dumplings), chow mein (stir-fired noodles), roti (flatbread), and sabzi (vegetable dishes).

Whereas in International Dishes we have pizza, pasta, burgers, hotdogs, and sandwiches.

There are a number of teahouses and lodges in the Australian Camp, offering a range of accommodation options from basic to comfortable. Most of the rooms have two beds, and some have attached bathrooms.

They are basic but comfortable to stay. In addition to the hospitality of the local people, your stay at the teahouses is even more amazing. Also, a sleeping bag can add more value to the trek if you are having the trek in the winter season.
