  In the paper we obtain traversable wormhole (TW) solutions in the Einstein
gravity with a functional form of the dark matter in the galactic halo. The
dark matter model is pseudo isothermal which is derived from modified gravity.
For a given central density the possibility of TW is explored determining the
shape functions. The null energy condition (NEC) and the weak energy conditions
in the model is probed. We also study the existence of TWs considering
homogeneous scalar field in addition to the dark matter halo in the galaxies.
An interesting observation is that TW solutions exist even if NEC is not
violated in the presence of scalar field.
