Dhampus Peak Climbing
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.
