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.
