The tour from Astam to Dhampus is one of the most scenic and short hike around Pokhara that provides visitors the authentic rural lifestyle of mid western Nepal near Pokhara as well as the panoramic views of the Annapurna Himalayas. Dhampus besides being very close to Pokhara still retains much of its traditional culture and appearances. Stone paved trails with the thatched roofed stone house along its both sides provide magnificent view of the typical village setup.
