Siklish Trekking

Trip code NAP-SIK-014

Siklish has been developed by the Annapurna Conservation Project as a model village and is an integral part of their eco trekking project that seeks to spread awareness for both tourists and locals of the need to preserve the delicate environment of the area. Siklish is a large Gurung village north of Pokhara, it is recognized as an extremely well preserved example of typical Gurung life. This is a very enjoyable short and known as Royal trek because this route was used by Prince Charles of England. The less traveled Siklish trails; there are no facilities, hotels or lodge.

This Trek starts with a drive from Pokhara and 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 Siklesh (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 Gorkha recruits, as part of an effort to develop this into a model eco-trekking route.
