Dhampus-Sarangkot Trek is a short and easy hiking trip around the magnificent valley of Pokhara. Sarangkot is a hub of adventurous activities like Paragliding, Zip Flyer, and even Water-touch Bungee Jumping. Dhampus-Sarangkot Trek, since it lies in the Annapurna Region, abounds in a panorama of mountains. We will pass through serene Gurung villages. The Gurungs are known for their bravery as the Gurkha soldiers and their exotic culture.
This trek, also an alternative trek of Annapurna View Trek, starts from Phedi, a riverside station reached after a 45-minute drive from Pokhara. This trek's primary highlights are the exploration of villages with exotic cultures, panoramic scenes of the elevated Himalayan peaks such as Lamjung Himalayan range, Mt. Machhapuchhre, Himchuli, Annapurna South, and so on. The exhilarating view of golden sunrise or sunset from both Dhampus and Sarangkot is a sublime experience. This trek is a kind of hiking that provides many trekkers with relaxation.
Sarangkot and Dhampus, mentioned in the title of this trek, have their unique features. Sarangkot is a rare viewpoint of both Fewa Lake and mountains, whereas Dhampus is a tapestry of Gurung and other cultures.
Satori Adventures offers Sarangkot-Dhampus Trek for those trekkers who are passionate about inhaling the mountains' beauty, curious to explore the Gurung culture in their short stay in Nepal. This trek is season-friendly; that is, we can trek throughout the year.

Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance.

Is the company genuine and authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries). Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.
On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.
