Sirubari Village Tour

Drive from Kathmandu to Sirubari village after breakfast in the hotel. The rural town is in the Syangja district, further west of Pokhara Valley. It takes around 8-9 hours to reach Sirubari village, enjoying splendid views of hills, mountains, rivers, and terraced fields along the way. On the way to Pokhara City, we will have lunch at the resort on the bank of Marsyangdi River. We will shortly halt for a tea break in Pokhara city. In the late afternoon, we will be welcomed in Gurung’s traditions in the village by putting a tika on our forehead, garland, and sometimes Khada-like shawl. Settle in your designated home, which will be clean and comfortable. In the late evening, after dinner, participate in a Gurung cultural program hosted by women groups in a community.

Early in the morning, go for a short hike to the Dahare Deurali, a viewpoint to observe the sunrise over the Annapurna Himalayan ranges. While enjoying the sunrise, you can capture mighty Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhare, Nilgiri, and many other smaller peaks. Return to homestay and enjoy a delicious breakfast featuring local foods. Explore village life, eco-friendly agricultural practices, and sustainable tourism in the Gurung community. Interact with locals, observe their small-scale cottage industry, and you may promote them by buying some craft work. Overnight in a homestay.

The memorable farewell bid from the host family after breakfast, and then we drive back to Kathmandu following the Pokhara-Kathmandu highway. We may add two more days to visit Pokhara City to explore Pokhara Valley.
