Siklis And Ghale Gaun Overview
Siklis and Ghale Gaun Trek is one of the shortest and easiest treks in Nepal. It lies at a low altitude (2000m) near Pokhara. Siklis, believed to be the second largest Gurung village in Nepal, is located to the north-east of Pokhara and Ghale Gaun, as the title suggests (Gurungs are also called Ghale and ‘Gaun’ is village in English), is a very popular Gurung village primarily for its cordial hospitality, friendly Gurungs and indeed its awesome natural beauty.

From Bijayapur, the trek proceeds downhill to the river valley through the waterfalls, a one-hour walk through paddy fields, and rhododendron and bamboo forests. You will take a rest in Siklis. On the excursion day around the Gurung village of Sikils, we will explore the Gurungs’ lifestyle, their culture, traditions and the ancient water-driven flourmills.
Ghale Gaun is next to Sirubari of Syanja in terms of the most popular rural tourist attraction. Apart from cherishing the rural beauty, you can enjoy the fabulous view of a panoramic the Himalayas, such as Manasalu, Lamjung Himal, Machhapuchhre and Himalchuli. Descending from Ghale Gaun to Besisahar, you will pass through dense forest and also Lama Gaun.
