Itinerary

At Mystic Adventure Holidays, our intention is always to follow the Dhampus Sarangkot 7-day tour itinerary. However, due to the nature of travel, we may need to make slight changes because of unforeseen circumstances such as weather-related cancellations or delays of domestic flights, natural disasters like landslides, newly enacted laws, political unrest, or trekkers' health issues, including altitude sickness. While the itinerary is brief and fixed, it also includes flexible areas. Therefore, we advise travelers to allow a few extra days in Nepal.

We highly recommend that you arrive one day before the trip starts to rest and purchase any necessary clothing, gear, and equipment for the hike. You can also use this extra day for a sightseeing tour in Kathmandu, acclimatizing, or rescheduling international flights in case of potential weather delays or domestic flight cancellations.

We appreciate your flexibility and look forward to providing you with an unforgettable adventure!

Essential Info

Kathmandu

The Dhampus Sarangkot Trek begins in Kathmandu. During this short trek, you will visit different UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Kathmandu Valley Excursion involves guided sightseeing of Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. You will explore the bustling streets of Thamel and the local market before leaving Pokhara city.

Pokhara City

The short Dhampus Sarangkot trek continues to Pokhara, the City of Lakes. Here, you will spend three nights exploring tourist places like Sarangkot, Davis Falls, Bat Cave, Gupteshwor Cave, Phewa Lake, etc. From Sarangkot, you will get to see stunning views of mountains like Mt. Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), Mt. Annapurna (8,091 m), Lamjung Himal, and many others. Moreover, you will go on a day hike to Dhampus. The trail ascends through a forested path and lets you enjoy mountain views and remote villages along the way.

Trek to Dhampus & Sarangkot 

The best part of this quick tour is a short trek to these two beautiful places, which offer stunning mountain views, beautiful landscapes, and traditional Gurung community villages and culture. This short trek passes through the lush green forest of Rhododendron flowers, villages, rice terrace fields, and amazing landscapes of Pokhara city. The sunset from Sarangkot would be the best part of this trek.

The best time to do the Short Dhampus Sarangkot Trek 

You can go on Kathmandu, Pokhara, Dhampus, and Sarangkot treks throughout the year. Monsoons and winters may block the views. Spring (March to April) and autumn (October to November) are the perfect seasons to go on this tour. As a part of the tour, it also leads to the Terai region in Nepal, which is way too hot & humid. Therefore, spring/autumn makes the tour pleasant. Since this trek is short and you will be moving around at a low altitude, you can plan for any time during the year. 

Difficulty Level

The Short Dhampus Sarangkot trek does not involve any difficulty walking. You will be driving from one place to another most of the time. You do have to walk a lot while exploring the monuments. Likewise, the hike to Dhampus can get a little tiring because you will walk on a sloppy path, but it's doable. There is no need for any previous hiking experience. Anyone can do a Dhampus hike.

Accommodation and Food

During the Short Dhampus Sarangkot trek, you will stay overnight in three-star hotels or nice tourist-standard hotels. The hotels are equipped with all modern amenities and a good WiFi connection. The Kathmandu Pokhara Tour package involves twin-sharing rooms, but if you want a single, then we can arrange that for you. The washroom will be clean and attached to the room. For the Dhampus and Sarangkot, the facilities will be a little less than Pokhara and Kathmandu. 

For meals, you will get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can find cuisine from all around the world in all the cities. We do recommend that you taste Nepali dishes too and enjoy authentic Nepali food as much as you can.
