 The Gurung village of Sikles has been established by the ACA project as a model trekking village and is an integral part of their eco-route. It is located to the north east of Pokhara, at about 2000 meters elevation, in the shadow of Annupurna ll and Lamjung Himal. It is a large village, possibly the second largest Gurung village in Nepal , and is a well-preserved example of traditional Gurung culture. While here, the trekker can easily spend several days experiencing local life-style, handicraft production and sightseeing. Of particular interest are the local cloth weaving and the ancient water driven flourmills.
Above the village is Rishing Danda, from where a marvelous panoramic view of the peaks of Mt. Annupurna 1 (7525m.) and Mt Lamjung Himal (6932m.) Mt. Gangapurna Himal (7454m.) can be seen. This place is also famous as a point from which to see avalanches thundering down off the mountain sides.
Folk songs and dance are an important part of Gurung life and cultural performances are a common occurrence in Sikles. Of particular interest here is the Ghantu dance, traditionally performed by three young girls.
To get to Sikles it is best to do the round trip, starting in Pokhara and taking drive to Kabhre Danda. From here it takes two days to trek to Sikles via Chansu. To return, follow the eco-route through Ghalekharka and Diprang and back into Pokhara in a further seven days easy trekking. |
