Description

Dhampus Peak, also called Thapa Peak, is a 6,012 m summit in Nepal’s Dhaulagiri Himal. It lies west of Jomsom within the Annapurna Conservation Area. Approaches follow Marpha and Yak Kharka or the Dhaulagiri Circuit across French Pass and Hidden Valley. Its trekking-peak label does not imply uniformly easy terrain: operators list PD–AD and possible fixed-rope use. Acclimatization and contingency time are important parts of the climbing itinerary.
