Annapurna Siklis Trekking

Annapurna Siklis Trekking Rough and wild, this trek cuts through less traveled country south of Annapurna 2 and Lamjung himal massif. It boasts good mountain views and the local people are unaccustomed to trekkers. It is a spectacular short trek and traverses a variety of terrain from low land villages and rich terrain up to Nepali’s largest Gurung (Gurkha) village (3000m) as well as blooming forests of rhododendron in the spring. The historic hill trek to Siklis; one of the early southern Gurung settlements and the second largest Gurung village still retains an aura of olden times.

Here, the Jhankri (shaman) and Lama (priest) have important roles in this Buddhist community, marriage, death and day-today lives. Siklis village lies above the Mardi Khola (1,981m), overlooking Annapurna IV to the north and Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal to the east. The region is particularly good for bird watching because of its pristine forested surroundings where different species of birds thrive.

Trip Highlights

Visit Pokhara Paradise on Earth, A beautiful lake city with a panorama of high Himalayas. Terraced fields, alpine pastures and rhododendron forests to typical Gurungs Village. Spectacular close-up view of Machhapuchhare and Annapurna range.
