Trek
• Trip Duration : 7 days
• Trip Type : Tours
The Sirubari village is a Gurung settlement set in the hills at 1,700 metres
above sea level. The climate is ideal at any time between September and June
with warm days and cool nights. The Village is a 4 to 5 hour drive from Pokhara,
the major tourist centre for the Annapurna region. The main road goes to Baglung
but a turn-off to the left at Naudanda goes to Sirubari. If you wish to walk,
the trail to the village is steep but well made and most people manage to reach
the village after a four or five hour walk from Naudanda.
When you reach Sirubari, you will be welcomed into the community and invited to
stay in the home of one of the village families. The accommodation is simple but
comfortable with good bedding as well as clean toilet facilities. The food is
delicious and you will be eating your meals as one of the family.
Every night there will be entertainment provide by the villagers. One evening
this will be in the form of traditional Gurung and Nepali dancing and singing -
you can join in if you like. As the locals are all Buddhist, the gompa, a simple
but beautiful temple, will be a feature of your stay. There will be the chance
to get a blessing from the resident lama before you leave.
