The local operator was very good to respond all the emails and phone calls from start to the Finnish. This trek was well organised. We had very good guide who is very experienced. We had a lovely time at tea house who provides organic local basic food. I never tired with the beautiful villager and scenery.This trek is highly recommended.
We had awesome trek to see Gurung community with the help of Sujan and the local operator. We managed historic hill trek to Siklis still retains an aura of old times. Historically, Siklis is renowned as one of the major origin places of Gurung Community. Here, we find the various ritual practices of Gurungs especially the works of Jhankri (shaman) and Lama (priest), who have important roles in marriage, death and day-to-day lives. Traditional technologies like alcohol fermentation, weaving clothes and sacks from the wild nettle, weaving various bamboo products, traditional water mills and stone grinders, wooden threshers etc are also the important features of Siklis. In this region we spot Nepals birds of prey including the 9ft wingspan Lammergeyer. The region is rich in flora and fauna particularly birds and butterfly because of its pristine forested surroundings and the great mountain views add an excitement. The experience was just awesome. Thanks to the entire team karma and dikki.

Our guide was fantastic. So attentive and eager to help in anyway, whether that was answering questions about the mountains, Nepali culture or our route. He also advising us on the best dishes in the various tea-houses. Offering to carry some of my load when I was struggling at the end of the day. His English was excellent, better than any other trekking groups we met. He can answer and explain clearly my questions about altitude sickness. we dont have communication problems. He has an good attitude, great energy, and knows the trail very well.
