TRP OVERVIEW
Discover the Hidden Gem of Nepal: The Ultimate Guide to the Annapurna Sikles Trek
If you are an aspiring adventurer looking for an introductory Himalayan journey, the Annapurna Sikles Trek stands out as the ultimate alternative route within the iconic Annapurna trekking region. Initially, many novice hikers assume that exploring the Himalayas requires intense physical endurance and years of mountaineering experience. However, this specific itinerary is deliberately designed for inexperienced trekkers who are just at the beginning stage of their trekking journey in Nepal. Furthermore, it offers visitors stunning glances of the massive Annapurna mountain ranges while weaving seamlessly through untouched, traditional villages.
Immersive Cultural Heritage and Rural Landscapes
Geographically, the Sikles trekking route is nestled quietly in the northeastern section of Pokhara. The main hub, Sikles, is an incredibly beautiful Gurung settlement where traditional houses are meticulously crafted from local mud and stones. Moreover, this historic village is surrounded by five other splendid, ancient neighborhoods:
To begin the journey officially starts at Bijayapur Khola, which you can easily reach after a short, scenic drive from Pokhara. While, you will ascend gently toward Rakhi Gaon , walking alongside vibrant, terraced cultivated field. Subsequently, the trail continues climbing toward Kalikasthan, a spectacular ridge that offers a panoramic view of multiple snow-capped mountains alongside the peaceful waters of Begnas Tal (Lake).
Exploring Nepal’s Oldest Gurung Settlement
After crossing several traditional settlements and viewing majestic peaks from different viewpoints, you will finally arrive at Sikles village. As of fact, this is recognized one of the largest and oldest Gurung villages in the entire country. Because, the local residents are primarily engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture, the area has perfectly preserved its authentic rural charm. Consequently, spending an exploration day here grants you a rare, candid look into the fascinating daily lifestyles of mingle communities.
In summary, this trail is widely considered one of the absolute best introductory treks in Nepal, offering a highly rewarding experience with a very manageable, moderate difficulty rating. Generally speaking, the absolute peak windows for ideal weather are the months of February, March, April, May, September, October, November.

Would very much like to sincerely recommend A Nepal trek company and a best manager named Mr. Y.B. Pant /Rajendra. This is my third trip to Nepal and took a service with well known guide Mr. Rajendra. We were very proud because he has been starting his a nice operation company with almost nearly 20 years experience of his guiding with some thousands of tourists from world. He provides us a good guide and a porter. Guide[Surya] was a real discovery! we took 17 days trek to “Throng-la pass 5416m” or known as “Annapurna circuit”. He is one of the most knowledgeable guide with friendly nature and of-course, me very strong impression by his great service. So, this year, I decided to do again something genuine with this Trekking company, Although, if you are planning a trip to Nepal, please do not miss your chance to observe the best respectful business way of life and get life-time memory from Nepal. No, many others agency will be able to find a proper guide on field. True they were became a real friend of mine for long & long…….

Estimado y querido Rajendra,
el viaje que nos organizaste por Nepal fue simplemente espectacular. Tu organización fue perfecta, tanto de los hoteles como en los pueblos que fuimos parando durante la vuelta al Annapurna. Tu conocimiento del lugar nos facilitó mucho las cosas, tu asesoramiento con respecto a la altura, que hizo que ninguno del grupo tuviera problemas. Tu calidez y simpatía hizo que dejáramos a un verdadero amigo en Nepal.
Todos tenemos ganas de volver, porque sabemos en quién confiar y conociendo ahora la maravilla que es tu país y sugente.
Otra vez muchas gracias por todo este evento inolvidable para nosotros.
Abrazo, Agustín.
