The Dhampus Sarangkot Trek is a short and rewarding journey in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It is a great option for those who wish to see the mountain scenery, traditional villages and quiet walking trails, but don’t want to spend a long time in the Himalayas for their vacation. The walk starts from Pokhara (822 m /2697 ft) and then passes through the woods, the terraced fields and the people of the villages to the hill villages of Dhampus and Sarangkot. This trail is recommended for beginners, families, and anyone who wants to enjoy a gentle hike.
The Dhampus Sarangkot Trek package includes a balance of walking and exploration of the area and its culture. This path runs through traditional villages and you can see how people live there, how friendly the people are and how beautiful the Annapurna mountain range is.
You stroll along well-marked paths with stone staircases, forest trails and ridge-top walks with views of the Pokhara Valley.
The peak of the Dhampus Sarangkot Trek is at Dhampus (1650 m /5413 ft). No altitude sickness is likely to occur since the height doesn’t rise much and it is easy for most healthy travellers. Walking days are not too long, and there is time for photographers to enjoy the views and stay at local guesthouses. The last morning at Sarangkot is special and offers views of sunrise over Annapurna, Machhapuchhre and Dhaulagiri before heading back to Pokhara.
Dhampus Sarangkot trek package covers comfortable accommodation, guided trekking, necessary permits and transportation as per the itinerary. This means you can concentrate on enjoying your trip, rather than the travel arrangements. This trek offers a mix of mountain scenery, friendly villages and limited walking hours making it accessible to those with limited time and first-timers to Nepal.
The Dhampus Sarangkot Trek is an ideal choice for those seeking a brief and enjoyable hike in the Himalayas, blending scenic beauty with cultural insights. You can enjoy a well-organized journey with the support of Nyindha Adventures and you can have some of the best moments in the foot hills of the Annapurna Mountains and make one of the best memories of your visit to Nepal in a few days.
Your Dhampus Sarangkot Trek begins in Pokhara (822 m /2,697 ft). Following breakfast, you drive for 40 minutes to Phedi (1,130 m /3,707 ft), with a scenic route. The road goes through small villages and green hills and cultivated farmland before reaching the starting point of the trek.
The road from Phedi rises slowly up stone steps and through traditional houses along the hillside. The first section is a little steep, but the path is well marked and easy to follow. The far-away view of the Annapurna mountain range starts to be visible as altitude increases. The trail also runs through rice and vegetable terraced fields where the local people cultivate rice, millet and vegetables. Passing through small woodland and peaceful villages makes the hill climb easier. At 1650 m (5413 ft), after a little more than 2 hours of walking, you arrive at Dhampus. Upon arrival at your guest house, you can explore the village and enjoy a beautiful sunset in the Himalayan mountains.
The Day’s longest trek is undertaken after a morning of delightful mountain views from Dhampus (1,650 m /5,413 ft) and breakfast. After some distance, the trail follows the same path down to the Ghatte Khola (1050 m /3445 ft). The path crosses the river on a suspension bridge, then ascends steadily through forests and cultivated farmland. The path continues uphill to Naudanda, the ridge village at 1440 m (4724 ft). From there, the trail meanders through a beautiful ridge, overlooking the Pokhara Valley. After passing through a few quiet villages and the terraced hillsides, you arrive at Kaskikot (1,580m /5,184 ft) stop for lunch, enjoying views from the mountain. The afternoon walk takes you over rolling hills, small villages, farmland, and finally to Sarangkot (1600 m /5249 ft). This is a popular hill station, known for its extensive vistas of the Himalayas and the lovely sunset over the surrounding landscape.
The last day starts early, with a short hike up to the Sarangkot viewpoint (1,600 m /5,249 ft). The peaks of Annapurna, Machhapuchhre and Dhaulagiri start to glow in a golden hue as the sun rises. This is an unforgettable experience to end the walk with wide views of the mountains, hills and Pokhara Valley. You spend a couple of hours taking in the views and snapping photos before heading back to your guesthouse for breakfast. When you pack your suitcases, you start your downhill journey to Pokhara. The path leads through the woods, along terraced farmland and through a few villages where people are still going about their daily lives. The air gets warmer and the scenery gradually moves from tranquil hillside communities to the edge of the city. On completion of a two-and-a-half- to three-hour walk, you reach Pokhara (822 m /2,697 ft). For more adventure, there is also an option to paraglider from Sarangkot to Pokhara, at your own cost.
