Inquiry

Siklis Village
Siklis is the biggest and the earliest ‘Gurung’ settlement. The village is located right north of Pokhara, in the vicinity of ‘Annapurna Range’. Siklish still retains their age old animistic and Shamanism (Jhankri) practices woven in their daily life. Here, the modern Tibetan Buddhism and ancient ‘Bon’ practices come together. Even though Siklis village has significant income from remittance, the village remained untouched by modern bizarre. The village is highly self sufficient. Beside regular farming, villagers spend their leisure weaving clothes, baskets and managing their resources.

Trek to Siklis
This picturesque trek passes through terraced fields, remote villages, rhododendron forest and high alpine meadows beneath the giants Annapurna II (7937 m) and IV (7525 m). A final high point reveals majestic views of the classic fishtail peak of Machapuchare. The trekking is off the main trails through villages of the Buddhist Gurung people of Tibetan origin. You walk through rice terraces and cornfields and then cut over a ridge clad in lush forest with Machapuchare at times dominating the Annapurnas. Your highest camp is at 3000 m, and from here you can reach a magnificent vantage point directly in front of Machapuchare (6993 m), a fitting climax to a trip adorned with variety.

Siklis & Chitwan National Park
The southern plains of the Himalayas are boasted with diverse wildlife. Among many marvelous conservation works, Chitwan National Park is famous for its increasing number of one horned Rhino, Royal Bengal Tiger and Asian elephant. Stay in the hidden luxury amid wild animals and capture them in your camera in their natural habitat.

Duration : 12 Days
Rafting Grade : Easy to Moderate Inquiry

Siklis trek with Seti Rafting
Seti is a really unique, pleasant and picturesque river passing through two beautiful and contrasting scenic areas. Relatively small volume, blue and warm water makes Seti a perfect rafting for beginners, intermediate and family. Seti rises on the southeast slopes of the sacred Mountain Fishtail and then flows to south, as a fairly typical Nepalese mountain river.
