Summary

A stone-and-slate Gurung village on a ridge northwest of Pokhara, Dhampus pairs terraced fields with a full-frontal view of the Annapurna range and Machhapuchhre. Reached by a short jeep ride plus an easy climb, it's the classic first overnight trek for beginners — teahouses, sunsets, and mountain light.
