Siklis Hill Trek (2200m.) , Trek
grading: Easy trek

This trek is specially developed for
more inexperienced hikers or anyone who
is interested enough to explore the
countryside of Nepal . This area is
really lacking behind in development.
The Siklis area is very close to the
Annapurna trekking trails. It lies
north-east of Pokhara. Very few lodges
and guest houses are available on the
route. Therefore, it is not difficult to
understand that we set up a camp for
overnight stay. The beautiful village of
Siklis is on the brink of a hummock at
the height of 2000m.
This is a stunning Gurung village.
The narrow lanes of this village are
edged by the stones and mud houses. The
houses are grouped in the traditional
ribbon pattern. This village is
surrounded by five other beautiful
villages. They are Lama-thar, Sabha-thar,
Harpu-thar, Dhaprang-tha and Gari-thar.
These villages have their own role in
the local community. Although this trek
is relatively slow, yet it offers enough
time to study about the flora and fauna
available in this region. You can see
some splendid views of the mountain on
the route.
