Royal Trek
Pokhara Side
Siklis Trek
(8 Days Program)
We wanted a trek that could enjoy the magnificent views
afforded by the Annapurna, yet less busy and suitable for
a wider range of fitness levels. The less traveled trails
of Siklis offered the perfect answer, with Ghalegaon village
a particular highlight.
Suitable for children.

Trek through the land of the Gurung people, following
the Mardi Khola. The people here are friendly and
welcoming and it is they who have paved so many trails
with precicely fitted stone blocks. From there terraced
fields climb through alpine meadows and forests to
the village of Siklish. Take a short walk beyond the
village and the many giants of the Annapurna are revealed
with a dozen peaks over 6500meters and massive glaciers
visible.
|
04-05 |
Heading west snow-capped peaks fill the view to the
right as the trail makes a steep climb to Tara Top,
a grassy wooded knoll that marks the highest point
of the trek (3025m). From here there is a spectacular
360-degree panorama of the Annapurnas, central Nepal
and the foothills dropping towards the plains of India
- sunset and sunrise are unforgettable. With its slate-roofed
houses huddled against the hillside Siklish is the
largest Gurung village in Nepal and you have a full
day here to explore the surrounding villages and countryside.
|
06-07 |
The seldom-visited village of Ghalegaon is a definite
highlight of this trek. Passing through a shady rhododendron
forest filled with orchids, lichen and moss the trail
descends steeply to Bhurjung Khola village. A small
stream leads down into the Pokhara Valley where transport
to Pokhara awaits.

Kathmandu Side
Sivapuri trek
We
accommodate such trips as the Shivapuri Trek. This trek
takes 2 to 4 days to complete. The trek provides you with
pleasant views of the central and eastern mountain ranges
and is a good introduction to Nepalese rural life. It is
an ideal trip for those who don’t want a long strenuous
trek or only have time for a short trek. The view points
at Nagarkot offers an enjoyable experience that has many
different options to enjoy the magic of mountains. The village
of Nagarkot is on the edge of the valley and offers excellent
views of the mountains as well as Kathmandu valley.
Scenery: Kakani is the one of the best nice view point
to view panoramic
mountain of Manaslau to ShisaPangma including Ganesh Himal
and Langtang. On the one side of the trekking route trekkers
will see the great view of Kathmandu and mostly you do walk
on the other side of the valley where green forest, river
valley, white mountain, small villages and agricultural
field warmly welcome you!
(This is one of the easy trek and all the mentioned trekking
