 The
historic hill trek to Siklis; one of the early southern
Gurung settlements and the second largest Gurung
village, still retains an aura of olden times. Here, the
Jhankri (shaman) and Lama (priest) have important roles
in this Buddhist community, marriage, death and
day-today lives. Siklis village lies above the Mardi
Khola (1,981m), overlooking Annapurna IV to the north
and Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal to the east. The
region is particularly good for bird watching because of
its pristine forested surroundings where different
species of birds thrive. |
