Siklis Valley Trek



Siklis trek in Kaski district has been most loved trekking areas among trekkers, as it is one of the picturesque treks that unfold the natural beauty in Nepal. The charming villages, intriguing patterns of terraced fields, rhododendron forest and high alpine meadows nestled below the towering mountains of Annapurna II (7937m) and IV (7525m) are some of the key features of this trek. This trekking also known as royal trek as Prince Charles had a trek through the area in 1980 to visit the villages of Gurkha recruits, as part of an effort to develop this into a model eco-trekking route.


Sikles trek takes you to remote villages that are far from city area. This trek is a fabulous short trek and crosses a variety of terrain from low land villages where there is the settlement of large group of Gurung people especially known as Ghurkhas as well as the forest full of rhododendron. The Sikles Trek starts with drive from Pokhara to Hemja at about 20 minutes. The trek to Sikles lies north from Pokhara. This trek passes through less visited area of Annapurna II & Lamjung Himal massif. The trek also offers the abundance of flora and fauna on route along with some wonderful mountains views of the Annapurna, Manaslu, Machapuchree (Fishtail) and Lamjung.



Above the village is Rishing Danda, from where a marvelous panoramic view of the peaks of Annapurna II and Lamjung can be seen. This place is also famous as a point from which to see avalanches thundering down off the mountain sides. Folk songs and dances are an important part of Gurung life and cultural performances are common occurrences in Sikles. Of particular interest here is the Ghantu dance, traditionally performed by three young girls.


During the trek in the area, you can have a view of Great Mountain and rough terrain. This trekking is a spectacular short trek through the Gurung (Gurkhas) village and dense forest. Therefore, it has been one of the alternatives to other short treks in Annapurna region. The trekking is off the main trails through Gurung village and takes through rice terraces and cornfields and then cuts over a ridge clad in lush green forest and enchants by the panoramic views of Machapuchare (fishtail peak) and other mountains lying along the region.
