(9 night/10 days) Trek Cote : NEPAL/PTT/TK 06

The Gurung village of Siklis has been established by the ACA project as a model trekking village and is an integral part of their eco-route. It is locate to the north east of Pokhara, at about 2000 meters elevation, in the shadow of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. It is a large village, possibly the second largest Gurung village in Nepal , and is a well-preserved example of traditional Gurung culture. While here, the trekker can easily spend several days experiencing local life-style, handicraft production and sightseeing. Of particular interest are the local cloth weaving and the ancient water driven flourmills.

bove 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 dance are an important part of Gurung life and cultural performances are a common occurrence in Siklis. Of particular interest here is the Ghatu Dance, traditionally performed by three young girls. Accommodatiion in Siklis can be either in teahouse or by arrangement by us in tented camp.
