Gurung Culture Trek
This trek takes you to remote villages off the beaten track. Sikles (Siklis) is a beautiful and traditional Gurung village perched on a hill at an altitude of 2000 mtrs. It is the second largest Gurung village in Nepal. Sikles lies above Madi Khola, overlooking Annapurna IV to the north and Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal to the east.
Ghalegaon – Sikles.
6 ¼ hours through dense forests, especially rhododendron forests.
Sikles, an interesting village climbing the side of a mountain, is the second largest Gurung settlement in Nepal.
Sikles doesn’t have a proper
guesthouse, but a local house provides shelter for tourists. Four
young tourists stay here the same night as me, and at night there is
an unlikely birthday party round a fire in the courtyard with mp3
music rocking across the mountain side.
