The easiest big-view walk near Pokhara, good as a warm-up or a family morning out.
We leave Lakeside before dawn, drive to Kande and walk an hour up a good trail, and then you're having breakfast with the whole Annapurna range in front of you. On the way home we loop through Dhampus village for lunch. The walking is easy and kids handle it well. We pick you up from your hotel and have you back in Lakeside by early afternoon.

For the day hike to Australian Camp, generally not. If you carry on toward Dhampus and beyond into the conservation area, that changes, so tell us your plan and we'll confirm.
