Sikles trek probes an un-crowded corner of the Annapurna Conservation Area under the shadows of Lamjung Himal and Annapurnas II and IV. This fabulous camping trek takes you about a week, starting at Beganas Tal (Lake) and heading north to the Mardi Khola, then following the river’s west bank up to well-preserved Sikles (1980m.) and its biggest Gurung villages.

From here you strike westwards over the thickly forested ridge that separates the Mardi and Seti Khola drainage’s and then descent via Ghachok. Variations on this route are often touted as the ‘Royal Trek’, after a rally the troops swing Prince Charles took through the area in 1980 s. to visit the villages of Gurkha recruits. As part of an effort to develop this into a model eco-trekking route.
