Thapa Peak (6,012m), also known as Dhampus Peak, stands majestically between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, offering an accessible mountaineering experience. This lesser-known summit provides a perfect introduction to Himalayan climbing while rewarding with sweeping views of the Kali Gandaki Valley. The climb combines rocky trails and moderate snow slopes, making it an excellent choice for aspiring mountaineers seeking their first Himalayan summit.
