Overview
For hikers of all ages and abilities, our Siklis short Trek is the ideal package. Located in the Annapurna region, we will get breathtaking views of the Annapurna range as we climb high into the alpine level for days on end. Furthermore, there is a slightly more genuine vibe about this expedition. Compared to the more well-known Annapurna hikes, you will see fewer visitors and engage with the village residents more. Siklis short Trek is renowned for maintaining its rustic charm and acquainting travelers with Gurung settlements. You won’t come across any homes built with contemporary technology. In a nutshell, our Siklis short Trek is a traditional way of exploring Nepali rural life.
The Siklis short Trek is a leisurely, relaxed path that allows ample opportunity to view and investigate the abundant flora and fauna. In addition to its cultural appeal, Siklis Trek provides sweeping views of the upper Himalaya’s many peaks. February, March, April, May, June, and September through November are the best times of year to go on the Siklis short Trek. July is also a wonderful month for the trek, albeit you might not be able to see the breathtaking scenery because of the rain. It has a minimum elevation of 820 meters and a maximum elevation of 2100 meters. There are hardly many hikers on this trail. You will always remember this wonderful immersion into Nepali village life!
