Dhaulagiri Circuit with Dhampus Peak Climbing – Dhampus Peak (6012 meters also known as Thapa Peak) is located on the northern-east of the great Dhaulagiri massif in the Annapurna range. This 6012-meter high peak is one of the non-technical climbing peaks and can also be a good beginning climbing option for aspiring mountaineers. Dhampus Peak Climbing offers the incredible view of Tukuche Peak, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak, Nilgiri, SitaChuchura, Tukche Peak, Thorong Peak, Tangu Peak, Tsarste and Hongde Peak. We also explore the different quaint and cultural villages of Kaligandaki valley.
The peak can be reached by following the famous mount Dhaulagiri Circuit trek trail. The trail to the mountain separates from the Hidden Valley camp after the French pass. Dhampus peak base camp is only a few hours away from the Hidden Valley camp and the only requires one day from the base camp to climb to the summit.
This is one of the non-technical peaks of the Himalayas and beginners with a bit of training during the climb can attempt to climb the peak. As minimum pre-requisite for this peak, all attempting climber must a good level of physical fitness.
Visit Himalaya Trek organizes and makes all the arrangement for climbing the mountain. The trek and expedition crew are highly qualified and trained personnel with a good decade-long experience of climbing and trekking in the Himalayas of Nepal.
