Overview of Dhampus Sarangkot Trek – 3 Days

Dhampus-Sarangkot is a relatively easy trek in the periphery of Pokhara. It will take us to two villages – Dhampus and Sarangkot – in the northwest of Pokhara valley. Because of the moderate nature of the trek, it is also suitable for the elderly and young ones.

Dhampus and Sarangkot provide a wonderful view of the mountains in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range. These villages are mainly settled by the Gurung people. The Gurungs are keen agriculturalists. They rear animals and grow rice, millet, buckwheat, rye, etc. Their fields are also full of fruits.

They have a unique culture and lifestyle preserved in their exotic form for centuries. The main profession of the Gurung people, outside of agriculture, is joining the armed forces. They are world-renowned fighters.

Dhampus village is mostly placed with the Gurung community with the golden heart. People are always friendly to every visitor. Different tea houses and the lodging roof are available on the route and in the village too. So, there won’t be a problem staying at night.

However, when a guest enters their villages, they are very welcoming and friendly. It is the tradition of Nepalis to honor guests as gods. The Gurungs are known for their hospitality. Their food and drink are unique for a visitor’s taste buds. In the evening, they will provide us with a glimpse into their age-old culture through music and dance.

Trekking amid stunning views of golden rice terraces and the Annapurna Mountain range’s immense width has the best to offer. Sarangkot is a lovely village well renowned for its dawn, with an uninterrupted view of the Himalayan Mountains of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri range, Fishtail, as well as magnificent green hills, rice verandas, and an amazing view of Pokhara valley and Phewa Lake on a sunny and clear day.

With a day trip from Kathmandu to Pokhara, you can visit Sarangkot Dhampus. After a short drive from Pokhara, we begin our walk from Sarangkot Phedi. Sarangkot offers beautiful views of the Pokhara valley, Phewa Lake, and the snowy landscape.

The view of the Phewa lake and the Pokhara valley is stunning from Dhampus and Sarangkot. Equally mesmerizing is the sunrise and sunset view.
