Dhampus Peak is a non-technical climbing peak just northeast of the Dhaulagiri massif. The Dhampus Peak is also known as the Thapa Peak. It is a perfect viewpoint for absorbing the mother of nature at its best. In addition, it provides awe-inspiring vistas of the snow-capped mountains. Dhampus Peak is 6012 meters high. Dhampus Peak is technically straightforward but requires no technical peak climbing skills.

We also explore the traditional villages of Kali Gandaki Valley. It offers ease and exquisite scenery for someone with an interest in viewing the topographic and ethnic variety of Nepal. So, The Kali Gandaki Valley has established itself as a significant destination.

The trail goes all the way to the famous Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek. Then, it goes through small villages, forests rich in flora and fauna, and exciting places. Then, the trail goes to an undulating path that connects us to Hidden Valley after the French pass. Finally, the trail leads to basecamp at 5600 meters, a few hours away from Hidden Valley.

It requires only a single day to reach a summit. Embark on the exquisite mountain scenery, soothe the mind, and awaken the senses while you are on top. The return trek can move towards Jomsom from Marpha before ending at Pokhara. Dhaulagiri Circuit with Dhampus Peak Climbing is exceptionally recommendable as an excellent beginning climbing possibility for aspiring mountaineers.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

Best company best guide

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
