Adventure seekers and hikers may find Nepal to be a treasure trove of lush green forests, beautiful rivers, and breathtaking mountain circuits. This beautiful nation of hills and mountains makes for an excellent paradise for travelers, adventurers, and explorers looking for great trekking or sightseeing experience.

Therefore, a large fraction of the thousands of people are faced with choosing which trekking destination to explore in Nepal every year.

Although it sounds strange, choosing your favorite Trek may actually be easier done in your home country than in the bustling trekking and tourist areas in Nepal, where dozens of trekking agencies are bound to give you different opinions about what Trek is the perfect one for you. And, if you, too, were in such a conundrum, we’ve got your back. 

Sirubari, located away from Pokhara (one of the greatest cities of Nepal), is a beautiful village in the Syangja district. It is inhabited by Gurungs and is at an elevation of 1760 meters; thus, there is no danger of altitude sickness. Additionally, it is a good substitute for the difficult and jagged mountain trekking popular in Nepal.

Overview of the Trip

When you arrive in Kathmandu, you will be offered a tour that allows you to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the city, including Swoyambhunath, Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. As a way to get away from the hectic pace of city life, our 10-day Sirubari Trek begins with a seven-hour drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. We’ll enjoy the spectacular mountain views and the captivating Fewa Lake during our stay in Pokhara. The bus ride to Sirubari village from Pokhara takes about 6 hours, so if you do not mind spending more time on the road, you might prefer to hire a private vehicle.

In Sirubari village, we will have the opportunity to observe the exotic rural lifestyle of indigenous people who have traditionally and historically lived here for many years, preserving their cultural heritage. It’s an ideal trek for travelers who have a short amount of time to explore the culturally enriched trekking routes. You can trek to Sirubari village during any time of year, but we advise spring and autumn seasons are the best.

Sirubari Trek Itinerary

There are many monuments in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, showing the excellence of Nepalese art and culture from ancient times. These monuments include the famous Durbar, the Pashupatinath temple, and the Swayambhunath stupa. The number of places to see in Kathmandu is so great that you will not be able to see them all in one day. However, we'll make sure that you don't miss the most popular attractions.

Our departure from Kathmandu is scheduled for early in the morning today. We have two options to choose from, either take a 35-minute flight to Pokhara or take a drive. The drive from Kathmandu would take approximately 6-7 hours. While we recommend the flight, you could stop and sightsee at several beautiful locations during the drive.

Our time will be in our favor if we arrive early at our destination, so we will be able to wander through Pokhara, a paradise-like city. The Fewa Tal offers boaters a chance to enjoy the reflection of Mt. Macchapucchare on the water surface of its pristine waters.

 

In the early morning, we will have breakfast and drive from Pokhara to Arjunchaupari, where we will begin our short Trek into Sirubari village, which takes about 4 hours. From there, we will climb up to the Gurung settlement. After you arrive at Sirubari village, you will be assigned a home by the local community representatives. The local houses are all constructed of local raw materials, but they are extremely comfortable. The day can be spent with your host family (you can exchange cultures and lifestyles), and the evening can be spent enjoying the cultural programs of the community.

As we begin our second day in Sirubari Village, we will have a great chance to see the local area and the surrounding villages. After having a hearty breakfast, we will begin the day. In the afternoon, we will enjoy the cultural activities.

We will visit Dahare Hill, the highest point in Pokhara, on our third day at Sirubari village after we have breakfast. The highest point of this part of the Himalayas allows us to take pictures of the entire Himalayas, from the easternmost peak, Mt. Manaslu, to the westernmost peak, Mt. Macchapucchare, and between them, the Annapurna range.

After saying goodbye to our host family and returning to Pokhara, we will start our journey with a light breakfast. Once we arrive in Pokhara, we can tour the beautiful city or go on a boat tour in Fewa Lake. Fewa Lake is considered a beautiful lake with peaceful surroundings. On the next day, after we have breakfast, we will return to Kathmandu with the most beautiful memories of our Sirubari Village Homestay Trekking program. Hope to see you soon.

After you’ve enjoyed the thrilling and joyful experience, you can choose whether to visit other beautiful places in Nepal or head back home. No matter what you choose, we hope you have a fantastic time.

We can accommodate group tours for this trip; however, you may also opt for a private tour according to your liking. We can arrange private trips at any time of the year at any date of your choosing. Please let us know what your preferred travel dates are so that we can accommodate you.

After the completion of the Trek, take a rest as you cherish the beautiful moments you encountered during the Trek while on your trip back home. It is certainly deserving of its reputation for its rich culture, amazing views, and the hospitality of the locals that can make a trek to the Sirubari an unforgettable experience.
