Itinerary Of Sikles Kapuche Lake Trek

Day 1: Drive from Pokhara to Sikles (Altitude 1980 m). Exploration of Sikles Village.

Leaving Pokhara after breakfast, you will travel 36.7 kilometers by off-road to Sikles. It will take around 3 hours to reach Sikles. You will pass through many beautiful villages along the way. There are also beautiful villages on the way to Sikles village, including Taprang, Chipli Gaun, and Khilang, but they are smaller settlements compared to Sikles. On the way to Sikles village, you will see gorgeous mountains and green hills welcoming you.

On a small hill at a height of 1980 meters, Sikles is a beautiful Gurung Community village. After reaching Sikles, you will be captivated by its cultural and traditional beauty. Take a village tour and learn about local culture, architecture, and traditions. People are friendly and helpful at the same time. You can also visit the Eco-Museum.

A view tower offers a great view of the whole village, as well as the opportunity to climb it. Similarly, it is also possible to hike up to Sikles Park and Rising Dada, which will take around 30 minutes for the average hiker, from where you will have a mesmerizing view of the Annapurna II, Lamjung Himal, and other mountains. In Sikles, you can stay overnight in a village tea house/lodge.

Day 2: Trek from Sikles to Huwu (Hugu) (Altitude 2100 m).

In the morning, you will have breakfast before setting off on your first trek day on the 7th of May 2011 to the village of Huwu following the stone stairway and stone path. Once you cross the village of Sikles, you can see some of the most magnificent mountains in the world such as Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal up close.

Afterwards, you’ll descend on the same trails and see the Edi Jharna waterfall (64 m), which is an adventurous walk. Upon returning from the waterfall, you’ll continue your trek and ascend uphill. A steep and large stone path leads you through small rivers and bridges before finally reaching Huwu village. After some pictures and a short rest, you will resume your trek.

There is a lot of greenery in the route between Sikles and Hugu, a forest path, a riverbank sidewalk, and an overall amazing experience. Hugu is about six hours away. On the way, there are no rest stops or villages. You may come across some villages along the way. The basic tea house in Huwu will be where you will stay overnight sleeping on mats and sleeping bags.

Day 3: Trek from Huwu to Kahphuche Lake (Altitude 2450 m) and back to Sikles (Altitude 1980 m)

A trek from Huwa to Kahphuche Lake is scheduled for early in the morning today. The Kahphuche Lake is the lowest glacial lake in Nepal. It lies at 2,450 meters above sea level. The trek is relatively short and easy compared with other trails on your journey. It takes 2 hours to reach crystal clear Kahphuche Lake, after which you’ll enjoy the beautiful mountain range and peaceful wildlife.

Kahphuche Lake provides you with beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains with a crystal clear blue lake in front. There are no words or lenses that can adequately describe the beauty of this lake. If you are lucky, you’ll get to see an avalanche from Annapurna II. You’ll return to Huwa village after spending time and taking some pictures. And then you’ll go back to Sikles as you did previously. It will take you less time to return than it did to arrive.

Day 4: Drive back to Pokhara.

After having breakfast, the hotel owner leaves you with a traditional farewell as he bids Tika farewell. Then you drive back to Pokhara.
