Khancoban

Khancoban lies at the south western edge of the Snowy Mountains, on the Kosciuszko Alpine Way. It is next to the Kosciuszko National Park, and is quickly becoming known as a fabulous base from which to explore the Snowy Mountains and the beautiful Upper Murray region. The crisp fresh air, spectacular mountain peaks and the crystal clear streams add to its attraction as a unique holiday destination for all seasons.

Offering a stunning view of the not too distant snow topped mountains in winter; Khancoban is only 77 km from Thredbo. Make it your base for winter activities as you can hire or buy snow chains and ski clothing in Khancoban.

Khancoban Pondage features easy access for water sports, with a boat ramp, BBQs and swimming area.

There are four wheel drive tracks, camping and picnic areas, and abundant flora and fauna. Kosciuszko National Park with a variety of walking tracks is just on the doorstep.
