Dhampus Peak Climbing is an excellent opportunity for climbers wanting to achieve the less-summited Dhampus Peak while exploring the Annapurna and Mustang region's rich flora and fauna.
Located between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalayan range, Dhampus Peak (6019 m) is also known as Thapa Peak. The peak is technically straightforward and offers a splendid view of the whole upper Kali Gandaki. From the summit, we’ll have a magnificent view of over thirty different peaks with close views of Tukuche and Dhaulagiri.
The expedition starts after a day drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Dhampus Peak can be summited either by short route via Jomsom or by following the entire Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek. Dhampus Peak climbing trail follows several traditional villages, cuts through rhododendron forests and crosses numerous passes with stunning views of the Himalayas. We will have a day safe acclimatization in Dhampus Peak base camp and then we follow a trail on a snow paved slope to a high camp situated at 5600m altitude. From high camp, we continue straight up and follow the snow crest to conquer Dhampus Peak. Return safely back to Jomsom via Yak Kharka and fly to Pokhara to end this awesome peak climbing and trekking experience in the Himalayas.
The trip is a must do for nature and Himalayan lovers. Himalayan hospitality and mightiness are found here which changes a person for good after single trip. Its the greatest humbling experience one can have.
Had a fantastic experience with the help of our guide Sumba Sherpa. He made things so easy for us through out the trek. He's very experienced and helped us when he had to. First class experience!
Spectacular scenery and much more variety than the Everest Base Camp trek I did back in 2005. Also much more challenging since you start at 800 m and climb to 5,100m.
We can highly recommend doing this Trek. It is a tough hiking trek (since you will be at very high altitudes for multiple days in a row) but the views make up for it - the landscape is stunning. Our Guide (Sanchaman Rai) explained a lot and did his best so that we felt always safe and secure. When we could not finish the first pass (Kongma La) - Sanchaman adjusted our plan so that we could do the other two passes, even though we lost a day. All in all it was a great trek with a great tour agency. (Hint: If you think about doing the Trek in less than 16Days - it may be possible, but make sure that you acclimatize correctly otherwise you will not enjoy the experience :-). In our opinion 16 Days is the perfekt amount of time).
The Langtang Valley trek showcased nature's marvels at their best. The breathtaking views and serene environment were a treat for the senses. The tour team provided excellent service and made the trek a memorable experience.
Great experience with Khum ji in coordinating the trek,travel in Kathmandu and to Lukla and was lucky to have the best porter/guide Dendi who twice summitted Everest and provided all the help and know about the area. Although lost a few days for not a seat on plane to Lukla, it was a great experience overall.
Choosing this local travel specialist for our Pikey Peak Trek was the best decision we could have made. The service provided was top-notch, with the team taking care of every detail. The right amount of time for acclimatization allowed us to fully enjoy the stunning landscapes and create unforgettable memories. Thank you for an amazing journey!
On this 28-day trek, we will be taking you to one of the most remote regions of Nepal, Dolpo. This is a unique chance of losing yourself in the magnificent beauty of Nepal.
The Dolpo area is located in the central west of Nepal. Isolated until 1989, the Dolpo area is hard to match for its surreal beauty and stunning charm. Situated at the rain-shadowed side of the Himalaya, the rugged scenery shows dramatic views, compared to similar altitude elsewhere in the country.
There are no lush green hills fed by monsoon but a thrilling hardcore landscape, guarded by impressive peaks, striving for heaven. The Dolpo region offers visits to ancient and isolated villages that are immortal to time. It provides you with sites of spectacular lakes, authentic Buddhist monasteries and plentiful wildlife (including Blue sheep, mountain goat, jackal, wolf and snow leopard). In case you are seeking for some overwhelming and impressive panorama, Dolpo trek won’t disappoint you.
Please refer to the itinerary for day-by-day activities.
Many people have described the Kanchenjunga trek as the finest trekking route in Nepal. It is a long trek going deep into the remote mountain ranges on Nepal’s border with Sikkim and Tibet. The trail explores the areas around Kanchenjunga the second highest mountain in Nepal and the third highest mountain in the world (once thought to be the highest among the world’s giants).
The mountain is part of the Great Himalaya Range. The Kanchenjunga massif is in the form of a gigantic cross, the arms of which extend north, south, east, and west. This recently opened Kanchenjunga region routes offer the chance to discover absolutely unspoiled highlands wilderness. In Tibetan, ‘Kanchenjunga’ means ‘the five treasure houses of snow’, which gives you some idea of what to expect when visiting the area. The Kanchenjunga conservation area (20,35Sq km) extends into protected areas in Sikkim and Tibet, and comprises beautiful and unspoiled wilderness. The area is snow leopard territory, but the reclusive predator shares the unbounded forests with the Himalayan black bear and the Assamese macaque, musk deer and red panda among others. Cascading waterfalls, lush vegetation and thousands of species of plants await the trekker. More than 2,000 different flowering plants have been recorded in the Kanchenjunga area and in the springtime some of the richest rhododendron forests in Nepal can be seen.
This was our first trip to the Himalayas and we had the absolute greatest experience ever, thanks in total to the service from the local operator and our sherpa/guide Chandan Magar. Chandan proved to be more then the most capable and knowledgable of guides, always looking after us etc., he was also very personable and fun to spend with me during the trek ! We had many great laughs, eclipsed only by the wonderful places he took us to see. His knowledge and grasp of everything Nepali gave a deep insight into much more then just the trekking and mountains whcih Nepal is famous for. If you do a trek in Nepal ask first for Chandan Magar and you know your money is well spent! Sujan, who booked the tour and everything else for us in Kathmandu, was also not only a great professional but a good friend to have when overseas and far from home. All in all what else can I say other then that I cannot wait to do this all again in future!
Lobuche East is one of the most famous, beautiful and sought after peaks of the Himalayan region. Standing tall at height of 6,119m, it is 26m higher than the Lobuche Far East peak. From the peak, we see beautiful views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, among others. This tour is also an opportunity to explore the beautiful Everest region.
Lobuche East is a very challenging, but yet gratifying, peak to climb. To reach our destination, we will first trek along scenic trails experiencing the beauty of nature and centuries old traditions of the people of this region. We will continue the journey from Everest Base Camp from where we will have a splendid view of glaciers and surrounding mountains.
The best time for ascending the peak is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). The peak can also be climbed during winter but the weather will be harsher.
Wonderful trek experience, my favorite part was the Tsum Valley extension - walking through the pine forest, with rhododendrons in bloom and surrounded by birdsong, was lovely, particularly with the reduced levels of donkey traffic relative to the main route! Crossing the Larkya La in perfect weather made for a stunning climax to the trip.
