Dhampus Day Hiking

Dhampus Day Hiking takes you beyond the beautiful city of Pokhara. The charming Pokhara city is adorned with impressive views of Annapurna range of peaks with towering Machhapuchhre Himal (Mt. Fishtail). You can also observe the beautiful reflection of these Himalayas on its tranquil Phewa and Begnas Lakes.

Dhampus is located in the Mid-West region of Nepal on the suburb of Pokhara valley. The trip starts with a short drive and then we hike from low warm farm areas to reach cooler hills. And finally,to the ridges at Dhampus village. The village offers fascinating panorama of Annapurna-Manaslu and Lamjung Himal range with majestic Machhapuchhre Himal.

Dhampus Day Hiking besides its amazing scenery of Annapurna Himalaya range and unique beautiful landscapes, the culture of local Gurung village is equally worth taking.
