  We explore the possibility of traversable wormhole formation in the dark
matter halos in the context of $f(Q)$ gravity. We obtain the exact wormhole
solutions with anisotropic matter source based on the Bose-Einstein condensate,
Navarro-Frenk-White, and pseudo-isothermal matter density profiles. Notably, we
present a novel wormhole solution supported by these dark matters using the
expressions for the density profile and rotational velocity along with the
modified field equations to calculate the redshift and shape functions of the
wormholes. With a particular set of parameters, we demonstrate that our
proposed wormhole solutions fulfill the flare-out condition against an
asymptotic background. Additionally, we examine the energy conditions, focusing
on the null energy conditions at the wormhole's throat, providing a graphical
representation of the feasible and negative regions. Our study also examines
the wormhole's shadow in the presence of various dark matter models, revealing
that higher central densities result in a shadow closer to the throat, whereas
lower values have the opposite effect. Moreover, we explore the deflection of
light when it encounters these wormholes, particularly noting that light
deflection approaches infinity at the throat, where the gravitational field is
extremely strong.
