We have carefully designed our Dhampus Sarangkot  trek itinerary with sufficient time for acclimatization and less walking time each day. And our experienced trek guide will be helping you with it.

Dhampus Sarangkot Trek is possible for whole year, but the best time to doing this trek is spring season (March to June) and autumn Season (September to November).

However trekking in winter season to chance to see snowfall with magnificent views of mountain, and in monsoon time you will see waterfalls.
