Sikles Eco-trekking
Route Nepal:
Starting point is Besi Sahar it is 6-7 hour-bus
riding from Kathmandu. Following the Marsyangdi River for some days we reach
Manang village. Here we turn west to the last village Khangsar, then pass
Tilicho Base Camp on the way to Tilicho Lake, the highest lake of the World at
around 5.000 m altitude. |
 |
An alternative then other short treks in the
region, the Sikles is an uncrowned corner of the Annapurna Conservation Area
under the shadows of Lamjung Himal and Annapurna II and IV. This fabulous
camping trek 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 Sikles (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 Gurkha recruits. As part of an
effort to develop this into a model eco trekking route.
The historic hill
trek to Siklis; one of the early southern Gurung settlements and the second
largest Gurung village, still retains an aura of olden times. Here, the Jhankri
(shaman) and Lama (priest) have important roles in this Buddhist community,
marriage, death and day-today lives. Siklis village lies above the Mardi Khola
(1,981m), overlooking Annapurna IV to the north and Annapurna II and Lamjung
Himal to the east. The region is particularly good for bird watching because of
its pristine forested surroundings where different species of birds thrive.
