This is one of the challenging passes. It involves the ascent of around 1000m from Hidden Valley. The Dhampus Peak, Climbing route difficulty level, varies on different conditions. If there is little or no snow on the route, the climb will be easy for trekkers. But the climb will be more challenging if heavy snow is on the trails because of all the ice. Because of the icy route, the claim will need mixed climbing at a high altitude. Without any regular, this peak climbing can be rated as a slightly challenging trekking expedition.
For a successful chance of reaching the summit of Dhampus Peak, trekkers will require a moderate level of mountaineering skills. You can also get this moderate mountaineering skill from your previous climbs. Even if the trekking route condition is not icy, the main challenge is the physical effort required to ascend over 1,000m at a high altitude. In the worst scenarios, trekkers with significantly less experience and moving too slowly may have to turn around. If we are to talk about the success rate, then it is relatively low. This was first evident by the statistics from the Ministry of Tourism in 2019. This status showed that only 33 successful summits out of 76 climbing permits were issued, resulting in a 43% success rate. Novice travelers can attempt Dhamus Peak Climbing but must have a good fitness level and average experience.

Dhampus Peak ‘ Successful Climb ‘ Thanks – Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition !!!
We want to thank Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition for providing us with an incredible experience of Dhampus Peak Climbing. Our guide, Dendi Sherpa was an excellent guide with technical climbing knowledge, we learned a lot from him and reached the summit. It was just an amazing feeling to stand at the top. We will definitely come back to do more climbing with you in future. Keep up the good work. Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition !! Highly Recommended !!
