Introducing Annapurna, the Siklis Village Trek is one of the most enchanting village trekking routes. You go through the fluctuating geographical terrains, beautiful villages, rhododendron forests, emerald hills, and soaring peaks of Annapurna. The trek will take you to the beautiful villages inhabited by the Gurung community, presenting their own unique culture and tradition. This appealing trek starts from the bank of Bijayapur Khol, which is a short hour’s drive from Pokhara city. We go up through the green and yellow layered rice terrains toward Kalikasthan. Climbing through several ridges, the viewpoint offers the finest view of beautiful Begnas Lake. The Siklis village is the oldest and the largest Gurung Village in Nepal. From Siklis, we head towards Neuli Kharka, which is also known as Forest Camp (2200m). Most of the people in the village are engaged in farming, service, and animal husbandry.
