Dhampus Nepal
Dhampus is one of the most scenic villages in the Annapurna region, and also one of the easiest to reach. Perched above the Pokhara Valley, this peaceful Gurung settlement boasts wide-angle views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) and the mighty Annapurnas, all without requiring a strenuous trek.
A View Worth the Climb
The uphill walk to Dhampus rewards hikers with an instant panorama of snow-capped peaks, best seen at sunrise when the light turns the mountains gold. The surrounding landscape is equally impressive, with terraced fields, stone cottages, and the ever-present scent of pine in the air.
Culture & Community
This magical place is home to the Gurung people, known for their warm hospitality and strong traditions. Visitors can explore the village’s daily rhythms from farming and weaving to dance and music, and gain insight into a lifestyle shaped by the mountains.
When to Visit
Visit from October to March for clear mountain views, or in spring (April–May) when rhododendrons bloom in the surrounding hills.
Where to Stay
Mountain Lodge offers welcoming service, spectacular mountain-facing rooms, and a peaceful setting just steps from the village, making it the ideal base for rest and gentle exploration.
