A clear pre-dawn chill rides the valley as you drive out of Pokhara toward Phedi, the city lights shrinking behind you. The path climbs quickly—first through terraced fields, then into rhododendron and oak forest—until Dhampus opens like a stage: a small village, a scattering of tea houses and a razor-edge view of snow peaks. The sun tests the range first, turning Annapurna South and Machapuchare a hard, cold gold.
