Nestled in the Annapurna region, Sikles offers travelers a unique opportunity to experience traditional Gurung culture, reflected in its distinctive architecture, vibrant festivals, and heartfelt hospitality.
The village also serves as a gateway to trekking routes leading to remarkable viewpoints of the Annapurna and Manaslu mountain ranges. The Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), in collaboration with the local community, actively works to preserve the natural environment while promoting sustainable tourism in the region. Starting from Pokhara, an easy trail leads toward Sikles Village and the Kapuche trekking route, offering panoramic vistas of the Annapurna range, including Lamjung Himal. The journey from Pokhara takes around five hours by road, bringing travelers to Sikles, perched at an elevation of 1,981 meters above the serene Madi Khola (Madi River).
