This trek although
close to the main trekking region in the
Annapurna region is a far less developed
route with very few lodges or guest houses.
Our destination is the beautiful and extremely
well kept village of Siklis perched on a
hillock at an altitude of 2000 mtrs. Siklis
is famous for its very well maintained rustic
flair and there are few better examples of
a traditional Gurung village. Village lanes
are narrow & these are flanked by stone & mud
houses that are traditionally grouped in
a ribbon.The village has five traditional
neighborhoods Lama-Thar, Sabha-thar, Harpu-thar,
Dhaprang-thar and Gairi-thar each bearing
its own significance in the community. The
trek itself is not a difficult one allowing
time to study the wealth of flora and fauna
to be found on route whilst also providing
some wonderful views of the Annapurnas.
