Siklis Trek

This unfrequented trek passes through terraced fields, remote villages, rhododendron forest and high alpine meadows beneath the giants Annapurna II (7937m) and IV (7525m). A final high point reveals majestic views of the classic fish-tail peak of Machapuchare. With most of the trekking below 3000m, easy acclimatization is a feature.

The Sikless trekking is off the main trails and we are likely to be warmly welcomed at the villages we pass through. A roughly circular route leads through villages of the Buddhist Gurung people, of Tibetan origin. We walk through rice paddies and cornfields and then cut over a ridge clad in lush forest with Machapuchare at times dominating the Annapurnas.
