Dhampus Peak<\/a> (6,012m \/ 19,724 ft), also known as Thapa Peak, is a trekking peak in the Dhaulagiri region of north-central Nepal, located between the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna massifs. The peak lies at approximately 28 degrees 24 minutes north latitude and 83 degrees 42 minutes east longitude, in the Mustang<\/a> district of north-central Nepal, near the village of Marpha<\/a> in the Kali Gandaki valley. The Nepal Mountaineering Association classifies Dhampus Peak as a Group B trekking peak.\n\nThe standard route climbs the north-east ridge, with Base Camp at approximately 5,000m on a high yak pasture above Marpha and a High Camp at around 5,400m. The summit push involves climbing straightforward 30-40 degree snow slopes on the upper mountain, with no technical rock or ice climbing required. The technical difficulty is rated PD- on the Alpine grading system, similar to Yala Peak<\/a>. Crampons and ice axe are required, but ropes are typically only used as handrails on the final summit slope.\n\nDhampus Peak is one of the most scenic climbing peaks in Nepal due to its location between two 8,000m ranges. The summit offers simultaneous views of Dhaulagiri (8,167m), the world seventh-highest mountain, and the entire Annapurna range, including Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna II (7,937m), and Annapurna South (7,219m). The mountain also offers views of Nilgiri (7,061m), Tukuche<\/a> Peak (6,920m), and the dramatic Kali Gandaki gorge, the deepest gorge in the world.\n\nThe approach follows the classic Annapurna Circuit route through the Kali Gandaki valley, with a flight to Jomsom<\/a> and a short trek to Marpha. The region is culturally Tibetan Buddhist Thakali homeland, with traditional apple orchards, ancient gompas, and the famous Marpha apple brandy. The best climbing seasons are spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November). Dhampus Peak is one of the easiest 6,000m peaks in Nepal and is often climbed as a first climbing peak for trekkers transitioning to mountaineering.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\nNMA Peak Permit fee\nClimbing guide (Sherpa, NNMGA-certified)\nClimbing equipment (crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners)\nHigh camp tents and cooking equipment\nFixed ropes on summit day\nEmergency oxygen at base camp\nSatellite phone for emergency communication","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"\uce74\ud2b8\ub9cc\ub450 \ub3c4\ucc29","content":"\n
