Dhampus peak 6012m, lies North – East of the big Dhaulagri massif. It is in terms of climbing technicalities an ascent. The overwhelming altitude differences between the Annupurna and Dhaulagiri range make it a very exposed spot to observe the scenery from. Having Tukuche Peak (6920m) and Dhaulagiri (8167m) near you, enjoy the feeling of being part of the extreme altitudes of the Himalayas. The 3500 meters ascent from Tukuche, where the climb start, makes you feel having gone really high. The path to Dhampus Peak follows the west ridge, which connects Dhampus pass (5200m), where there is our highest camp. This expedition exceeds the 6000m frontier, no technical skills are required, crampons depends on snow conditions. This means any experience in walking on snow/ice is advisable.
