(Non-technical, glacier-free
climb into the voids above th`1`e Kali Gandaki
valley)
Dhampus
Peak lies North-East of the big Dhaulagiri
massif. It is in terms of climbing technicalities
an easy mountain to ascent. The overwhelming
altitude differences between the Annapurna
and Dhaulagiri ranges make Dhampus Peak
a very exposed spot to observe the scenery
from. Having Tukuche Peak (6920m) and Dhaulagiri
(8167m) spectacularly near you enjoy the
feeling of being part of the extreme altitudes
of the Himalayas. The biggest mountain range
in the world with uninterrupted heights
between seven and eight thousand meters,
containing Annapurna -1, 2, 3 & 4, Annapurna-South,
The Nilgiris and Tilicho Peak tower above
the horizon in the South.
The 3500 meter ascent from Tukuche, where
our climb starts, makes you feel having
gone really high. The normal route to Dhampus
Peak follows the west-ridge, which connects
Dhampus Pass(5200m), where our
highest camp is placed, with the summit.
For acclimatized people we have a 6-day
schedule starting from the High Plains Inn
in Tukuche. For unacclimatized individuals
we offer various acclimatization programs,
which each take an additional 4 days. An
ideal combination is the trek over the 5400
meter high Thorung Pass.
Though this expedition exceeds the 6000
meter frontier, no technical climbing skills
are required. The use of crampons depends
on snow conditions. This means any experience
in walking on snow/ice is advisable.
As there are no steep pitches and no glacier
traverses at all, we won't be roped together.
Hence knowledge about knots and rescue operations
are also not required.
Good physical health and mental
perseverance necessary.
