Dhampus Day Trek

An experienced trekking guide from Real Adventures comes to your hotel in Pokhara, with private car. Make sure that you have had breakfast before 8. It takes one hour drive from your hotel to Kande, the entry point of Dhampus Trek, via Pokhara-Baglung highway. We begin our trek walking into small village of Kande, from Kande we enjoy aerial view of Pokhara valley which is spotted with beautiful lakes. After 15 minutes village walk we follow the steep route a d enter into the thin forest. The trails turn right curve just above the farming terraces and enter into lush forest. It takes about one and half hour to reach to Australian Camp. On the way there are tea shops to have good chia and have rest. When we reach to Australian camp we take rest and enjoy the spectacular view of mountains like Annapurna South (7219m), Hiunchuli (6440m), Machhapurchhre (6993m) and Lamjung Himal. Australian Camp was known as Dada Kharka, a season pastureland for buffalo and cow for local people, but after the several time visits and camping of Australian people during 1980s changed the name of this place and has been a popular trekking destination. After a good rest and delicious lunch, we follow stoned paved route via forest and within another one and half hour we reach to Beautiful Dhampus village. On the way admire beautiful forest blooming with rhododendron flowers and echoing with twittering of bird songs. Dhampus is traditional village with warm hospitality, which still preserves the traditional way of life and a showcase of hilly people. Dhampus is blessed with incredible view of Annapurna mountain range, beautified with stone roofed house painted with white and red clay. After Dhampus we walk towards eastern ridge of Dhampus village and follow downhill route via forest, beautiful village and incredibly patterned farming terraces. About 90 minutes slope walk we reach to Phedi, where a car is waiting for us to transfer to hotel in Pokhara.
