Planning to go Mardi trek on Thursday from Kathmandu.

The plan is to not stay on Pokhara.

I want to stay at Australian Camp on day 1. But also since we are short on time, Reaching deurali would be much better.

But I don't wanna compromise on place of stay. I loved Australian Camp from tiktok but dont know how the view is from deurali or pothana. If the view is good I am considering walking up to Deurali skipping Australian camp stay plan.

So

Day 1: Ktm- Australian Camp

2: Australian camp- Low Camp

3: Low Camp- High Camp

4: High Camp- Siding

5: Siding - Pokhara (want to explore pokhara last day full)

Or

Day 1: Ktm- Deurali

Day 2: Deurali -Low Camp

Day 3- Low Camp- High Camp

Day 4 : High Camp- Siding

Day 5: Siding- Pokhara

Suggest me what to do and why?

Can you guys suggest best places to visit and best budget way of transportation to reach in all places in Pokhara?

I will have around 5 hours only in Pokhara maybe.
