What can you expect
Rediscover Nepal offers a professional and experience service with licensed veteran guides who know the ins and outs of every spot on the route. A unique experience awaits! Visiting the Annapurna region of Nepal you get to see the famous mountains like the unique shaped Fishtail Mountain known locally as Mt. Machhapuchhare. To make this short trek in Nepal even better, incredible panorama views can be seen from Sarangkot hill.  Visiting the lakeside city of Pokhara comes with a lot of activities. Boating on Fewa Lake is one of the most fun things to do and visiting David’s fall and the Gupteshore Cave that runs under the legendary waterfall just makes it worth it! A nice outdoor trek of two nights takes place before this. Visiting Sarangkot famous for one of the best views of Nepalese landscapes such as small villages, and mountain sides overgrown with lush green forests. Furthermore, a visit to the Australian Camp makes for a good outdoor experience. The views of Mt Daulagiri, the Annapurna mountain range and Mt. Machhapuchhare are astonishing. Dhampus is an iconic gateway village from where incredible scenic views can be seen. The rice field terraces resting on the side of the hills with the Annapurna snowcapped mountains laying in the back ground is just astonishing.  

Activities in Nepal
Besides the trekking part of the Dhampus Sarangkot trek, Nepal has a lot of sightseeing places to offer. Rediscover Nepal finds it important to have some time during this package to enjoy the wonders of Kathmandu and the cultural activities in Pokhara. During this short trek in Nepal, our experienced guide will bring you on a tour in Kathmandu to see the Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, and roam around the cobbled alleys of Patan’s Royal Durbar Square, filled with handicraft shops, ancient Temples and old Palace buildings. A stop at the Mighty Boudhanath Stupa and a hike up to the Monkey temple of Swayambunath is surly a must!
During our stay in Pokhara visiting the Lake Temple by boat with the whole family makes for great photo opportunities. Seeing the heavy water flowing down in the dark underground is even more spectacular from down the Gupteshore Cave! Pokhara has even more activities not included in this Dhampus Sarangkot Trek Itinerary, like Paragliding, ultra-light flights, Zip lining and even bungee jumping. These can be organized but an additional day needs to be booked in Pokhara. Inquire during your booking and our Rediscover Nepal Team will be more than happy to increase your Nepali experience even further! 
A great short trek in Nepal in a magical landscape filled with nature and a small cultural tour makes the Dhampus Sarangkot so special and worthwhile!
