Experience the wonderful trekking journey with the incredible vistas of glorious Himalayas and diverse culture in every step of Sikles Village Trekking. This trek takes you to kaski District where the famous tourist hub Pokhara lies. This district is well known for its natural wonders and trekking peaks. The charming villages, diverse landscapes, cultivated terrains, rhododendron and pine forests and high alpine meadows nestled in the lap of gigantic mountains Annapurna II (7937 meters) and IV (7,525 meters) are some of the major highlights of this trek.
This trekking is also known as Royal Trek as Prince Charles has a trek through this area in the late 20th century (1980) to visit the village of Gurkha recruits, as part of an effort to develop this into a model eco-trekking route in Nepal. But it has yet neglected unknowingly by the domestic and international tourists, thus sees very few trekkers as compared to other trekking routes in Annapurna like; Annapurna Base Camp Trek and Ghorepani Poonhill Trek.
A trekker can have mesmerizing views of high mountains and rough terrain during this trek through Gurung (Gurkhas) and lush forests. Therefore it has been of the best alternative for some of the other short trekking in Annapurna Region.
