Siklis Trek has recently been renowned that offers the most spectacular views of the Annapurna Ranges and Lamjung Himal (6931 m/ ……….ft). This low altitude trek, Siklis Trek via Begnas Lake, passes through rarely visited area of the villages and traverses through varied terrains. Beautiful small villages and terraced farming fields are main attractions of the walk with one of the largest Gurung villages of Nepal in Siklis. This is ideal trek for beginners without primary trekking experiences in the Nepal Himalayas.
The trek begins from Pokhara’s Begnas Lake - beautiful lake city of Nepal. From here you trek northern bound along the Modi khola to Baral and to Chyamrang village. You will enjoy rural life, and if lucky meet some of the ex-Gurkha soldiers of the WWII.
On the way back you will see more villages in the outskirt of Pokhara including Ghale Gaon and reach Pokhara to finish your trek and to Kathmnadu.
