Itinerary

1 stop
1
Our guide picks up you from your hotel and drive to Sikles. Once reached Sikles, we begin our trek. The path ascends and descends and is occasionally steep and narrow. The trail, on the other hand, is well-defined and serves its purpose well. The trail provides views of the River Valley and numerous mountains. Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, and Lamjung Himal all appear spectacular from the trail. A famous waterfall also lies on the trail which can be visited. We’ll arrive in Hugu Goth toward the late afternoon after hiking, where we’ll have to stay the night at a Teahouse or Camp. The Goth in Hutu Goth literally means “shed”, named probably after a famous place for cattle to be kept in older times. This place is also called Goth Ghar.

Day 2
Day hike to Kapuche Lake (2,450m)
1 stop

This is going to be one of the most exciting days of our hike, and we are going to get an early start. We are going to travel to the breathtaking Kapuche Lake, which can be found at an elevation of 2450 meters. After a hike of about two to three hours, you will arrive at Kapuche Lake. The lake is the glacial lake in Nepal that is located at the lowest altitude. When we are standing on the shores of the lake, it is easy for us to imagine that we are in a magical land. The location is absolutely breathtaking. The location doesn’t see a lot of foot traffic. Because of this, there is peace and quiet there. Huge Goth will once more serve as our lodging for the night as we make our way back there.

On our second morning at Hugu, we get a head start on the day by waking up early and having breakfast there. The distance between Hugu Goth and Nohtha can be covered on foot in approximately five to six hours. We will have to make our way across the Hugu Khola, after which we will begin our ascent through forests of rhododendron, fir, and pine. The view of the mountains on this day is identical to the views of the mountains on the previous days; however, as we walk, the mountains appear to be getting closer. Nohtha is equipped with a few simple conveniences, including households in which we can spend the night.

Trek to Kori Danda (3,800m) - 6 hrs trek The fourth day of the trek is going to be the most important because we are going to reach our goal, Kori Danda, which is the center of Nepal from east to west and is 3800 m above sea level. About four to five hours of our journey to Kori Danda will be spent climbing steeper and steeper hills. We will leave the tree lines behind as we make our way towards the grasslands. When you get to the top, you will have a breathtaking view of the mountains mentioned above. We are able to take in the beautiful views of the rolling hills. It is also possible for us to have a view of the Pokhara Valley. Since there are no fixed accommodations here, we will have to stay over in a tent and camp on top enjoying the evening view.

Following breakfast, our day will consist of more of the same downward hiking. As soon as we make it to the Sikles Village, we are going to spend some quality time with the inhabitants there and discuss about our trip. You may take a walk around the hamlet and get a better understanding of Gurung culture right there in their own backyard. Since Sikles village is rather large, we will be able to visit the surrounding places, including those that we were unable to access during our previous excursion.
