Overview and Highlights

Dhampus Peak (6012m) is situated northeast of the gigantic Dhaulagiri massif. The peak is easy to climb and does not require any technical climbing skills. Dhampus Peak is also known as ‘Thapa Peak’. Climbing Dhampus Peak which stands at an altitude of 6012m is a remarkable experience. It is one of the most popular but normal climbing peaks in Nepal that is also known as Thapa Peak.
Thapa peak lies in the middle of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalayan range; the peak is precisely uncomplicated and offers a magnificent insight into the entire upper Kali Gandaki valley. From the summit, we have an inspiring view of its spectacular mountains including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri with the nearby view of Tukuche and Dhaulagiri and many more peaks. Dhampus Peak Climbing with Alpine Ramble Treks begins following a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and it can be submitted either by short course by means of Jomsom or by following the whole Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek.
