Sikles is basically a village that lies in the Kaski district of Nepal, which unfolds the beauty of Nature. The beautiful countryside of Nepal is a part of the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), which takes you to the corner of the Annapurna region. Sikles is established as the model trekking route as the internal part of eco-route. The place is well-suited for those trekkers who don’t want to trek at high altitude. You can enjoy the beautiful Sikles trek just at the altitude of 2000m above sea level. So don’t worry if your body struggles or feels difficult in high altitude places.
The Sikles trek starts from the Pokhara, so explore the Pokhara valley for a few days then start your journey to Sikles. The trial is the off-beaten path that passes through the beautiful green jungle, which gives the best trekking experience with Nature. Additionally, you will get to see the oak, bamboo, and of course, colorful rhododendron trees that look so beautiful in the forest. The variety of birds chirping sounds so good that it feels like you in the pool of birds. Sometimes the path leads you to the stone-paved road and sometimes on dirt off-road, but trust me, you will love the trail to Sikles.
Sikles trek has been the best secret destination through the forest. So the route is more likely to be raw, which means you might encounter wild animals and other species of flora and fauna. But the trail is completely safe, so you don’t have to worry about anything throughout your journey.
The Sikles trek takes us to the less explored, typically Nepali villages which have been settling down for a long time in the hills of Nepal. The village is also well known for its rustic flair, which means the village lanes are narrow, and the houses are flanked by stone and mud. Moreover, the Sikles village has five traditional neighborhoods that have their own significance in the village community. The village is highly inhabited by the Gurung ethics group, which reflects the true tradition and respect. Sikles village people have a rich culture which you have never seen anywhere around the world. All the villagers follow the Buddhist religion as well as shaman priests (Tribal healer) who conduct the ceremonies in the village, such as marriage, rituals, and illness. If you are lucky, then you might also get a chance to meet Gurkhas, who are well-known soldiers.
Sikles village is a perfect example of a self- sustainable community because all the food is grown locally, and even the electricity is created from local hydropower. Your trek to Sikles gets more interesting when you get involved in local handicraft production and their cultural festival. Besides that, if you have never seen the ancient water-driven flour mills in your life, then Sikles villages give you a chance to experience the traditional flour mills.
Well, the village is settled on the ridge of the hill, which overlooks the vast valley beneath the village and also towers of beautiful mountains. Moreover, the Sikles village is considered as the best spot to see the brilliant panoramic view of snow-capped mountains Annapurna III (7555m), Annapurna IV (7524m), Lamjung Himal (6983m), and Lanjung (6983m). Sometimes you can see the avalanche thundering down on the side of the snowy mountain.
