Next day we walk back down hill through equally scenic route and catch a vehicle for Pokhara.
Besides the breathtaking mountain views, Dhampus will also offer you an opportunity to experience the peace and beauty of Nepalese countryside , watch the daily lives of the villagers , see them work on the farms and interact with local people .
