Off the beaten Annapurna Circuit, a trek to Siklis offers (non-tourist trekking area) an ideal short gateway with superior close-up mountain views. Begain from Pokhara & climb gently to Siklis at nearby 2000m. Spend a rest day in this traditional Gurung town or wander its upper slopes. Follow the Modi Khola east & again mount a ridge for views of the Annapurna & singular Machhapuchhre. Back to Kathmandu
