If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received. If you cancel one month before departure, 10… - **Booking type (label)**: supabase-request ## What’s included / kit / extras (plain text excerpts) ### Highlights 4-day Gurung village trek to Sikles above the Madi valley Homestay or lodge nights in Sikles Monastery lanes, terraces, and nearby viewpoints Annapurna II and Lamjung on a clear morning Short walk back to the jeep and Pokhara 🗺️ Trip Overview Sikles is a large Gurung village above the Madi valley, reached on foot from Pokhara’s roadhead through forest and terraces. You stay in homestays or lodges and walk village lanes, the monastery, and nearby viewpoints. Homestays, the village monastery, and terrace walks are the days; Annapurna II is the skyline. Annapurna II and Lamjung fill the skyline on clear mornings. The trip is cultural and mid-altitude, with a straightforward walk back to the jeep. Madi-valley forest and a short jeep back to Pokhara keep the four days cultural rather than high. ✨ Why Choose Us Bhagwat started as a porter in 1998, is a licensed guide, and still joins short Gurung weeks when he can. You'll leave Pokhara for Mahendra Cave, climb through Ghale Kharka to Sikles above the Mardi Khola, then walk out via Taprang and Yangjakot. We book ACAP in Pokhara so the four days stay on village lanes, the Eco Museum, and terrace viewpoints. Homestay or lodge rooms in Sikles are confirmed before hotel pickup, so monastery walks are the days, not a scramble for beds. Your guide knows the Royal Hiking Path toward Nyauli Kharka and which clear morning opens Annapurna II and Lamjung. Porters still carry fair lodge loads at one per two guests, with kit renewed yearly. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Pokhara hotel stay with breakfast on the itinerary Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on trekking days Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) included TIMS permit included All necessary paper works Teahouse or lodge accommodation on the trail Licensed guide and porters (one porter per two trekkers) First aid kit on the tour ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Pokhara hotel stay with breakfast on the itinerary Travel and emergency rescue insurance ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? March to May rhododendron bloom and October to November crisp air are peak windows for this itinerary. July and August mean leeches and cloud on lower slopes; December to February can ice steps above village level. Your guide reads the forecast before long cols or sunrise hikes. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable on steep stone steps and forest paths for four to six hours with a daypack. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, road transfers, porter support, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. ### What is not included? International flights to Nepal, visa fees, compulsory travel insurance, personal trekking clothing, snacks and drinks outside included meals, and tips for crew are not covered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Airport collection to your Kathmandu hotel is available when flight times are shared in advance. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. Pokhara hotel meet applies when your package starts lakeside; allow a full day for the drive from the capital if that sector is included. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. ### How does altitude sickness management work? Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### How do we reach the trailhead? Road transfer from Kathmandu to Pokhara and a short drive to Nayapul or another start point are common when transport is included. Your guide confirms departure times at briefing. Motion sickness medicine helps on winding mountain roads. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. ### What permits are required? Annapurna Conservation Area Permit and TIMS registration apply on this route. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/d3f2ece0-e3af-4baf-909d-c53e4dfe7965/2fe0681e-618b-47b2-a9ee-6138b9abaf5e/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
