TRIP OVERVIEW

In case you are wondering where you can play games, here you are casino echtgeld bonus ohne einzahlung. You will be flattered! Sikles is a recently explored trekking route and a comparatively developed one which is close to the Annapurna region where the friendly Gurung community dwells & upholds their ancient customs and traditions. Trekking Sikles is beautiful in nature and a well kept countryside of Nepal. The highest elevation is 2000m above the sea level & comfortable for the body, especially if you don’t want high altitudes. This trek is not a difficult one but varied flora and fauna can be found and at the same time it offers some wonderful views of Annapurna ranges. This trip is famous for giving us deep insights into the old traditions of the Gurung community who’ve lived in this stunning area for centuries…

The Sikles trails provide you lush green forest where various rare bird species have their homes. This trek also offers you remarkable sceneries and views of eye-catching snow capped mountains like Annapurna and Manaslu. You will trek through beautiful oak, rhododendron and bamboo forest and follow ancient gombas through Madi Khola valley. You will enjoy camping at unique sites of Sikles like Tang Ting and Bhujung, enjoying local dishes and observing daily lifestyles unfold around us. You get close-up views of famous mountain ranges like Annapurna IV, Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. It is a comparatively easy and short trek through a diversity of geography from the lowland villages up to the richest and large numbers of Gurkha villages. This new trek offers village experiences where you will get chances to view houses made up of mud and rocks. The streets of the villages are narrow with back yards fenced by large rock formations. The villagers follow both the Shaman and Buddhist priests in their cultural rituals related to marriage and death. There is no fear of altitude sickness and steep walks. Therefore, this trek is recommended for all lovers of nature who want to explore best of Nepal’s rural mountain cultures…

The trekking season starts from March – May and September – December, this is the best time to treks in this area.we’d be glad to help you always.
