Sikles Trek – A Hidden Cultural Gem in Annapurna

We had been looking for a trekking route that was peaceful and less crowded, and the Sikles Trek exceeded all our expectations. The mountain scenery was spectacular, but what made this trek truly special was the opportunity to stay in authentic Gurung villages and experience local culture firsthand. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and always made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. We especially enjoyed our stay in Ghalegaon and Sikles village, where the hospitality of the local people made us feel at home. The natural hot spring at Kharpani was another unforgettable highlight after a long day of walking.

Alliance Treks handled everything perfectly from airport pickup to the final farewell dinner. The itinerary was well planned, accommodations were comfortable, and communication before the trip was excellent. We highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for an authentic Himalayan experience away from the busy trails.
