Sikles Trekking
(6 Days, Hotels/ Camping)
| This fabulous camping trek takes about a week,
starting at Beganas Tal (Lake) and heading north to
the Madi Khola, then following the river’s west bank
up to well-preserved Sikles (1,980m.), Nepal’s
biggest Gurung village. |
An alternative to other short
treks in the region, the SIKLES TREKS probes an
uncrowded corner of the Annapurna Conservation Area
under the shadows of Lamjung Himal and Annapurnas II and
IV. This fabulous camping trek takes you about a week,
starting at Beganas Tal (Lake) and heading north to the
Madi Khola, then following the river’s west bank up to
well-preserved Sikles (1,980m.), Nepal’s biggest Gurung
village. From here you strike westwards over the thickly
forested ridge that separates the Madi and Seti Khola
drainage’s and then descent via Ghachok, another Gurung
settlement, to reach the Pokhara – Baglung Highway.
Variations on this route are often touted as the ‘Royal
Trek’, after a rally the troops swing Prince Charles
took through the area in 1980 to visit the villages of
Gurkha recruits. As part of an effort to develop this
into a model ecotrekking route.
