Siklis Eco Trek
This fabulous trek takes you off the beaten path experience and through the Gurung Villages of Ghalegaon and Parche, giving an awesome cultural experience. The ridge above the village of Siklis affords marvelous views of the Eastern Annapurnas. The trail passes through the friendly villages, terraced field, alpine pastures and rhododendron forests to Parche Village. And further continues on through a shady forest of rhododendron – hung heavy with lichen and moss, wild flowers and orchids flowering on the branches above.
Good mountain views, the local people are unaccustomed to trekkers. This trek is a spectacular short trek and traverses a variety of terrain from lowland villages and rice terraces up to 3000m, as well the forest of rhododendron blooming in the springs.
