Sirubari Village
|
Country: Nepal |
Description |
Sirubari
village is a totally unspoiled
Gurung settlement set in the
hills at an altitude of 1700
metres above sea level. The
climate is ideal at any time
during the September to June
season with warm days and
cool nights.
The village is a short drive
and walk from Pokhara, the
major tourist centre for the
Annapurna region. It is reached
from the road to Lumbini,
the birthplace of the Buddha. |
Itinerary |
3
days/2 nights program:
You will be welcomed into
the community and invited
to stay in the home of one
of the village families. The
accommodation is simple but
comfortable with good bedding
and clean toilet facilities.
The food is delicious and
you will be eating as one
of the family. Each night
there will be entertainment
provided by the community.
This will be in the form of
traditional Gurung and Nepali
dancing and singing, you can
join in if you like!
As the locals are all Buddhist,
the village gompa, a simple
but beautiful temple, will
be a feature of your stay.
There will be the chance to
get a blessing from the resident
lama before you leave.
Just because you are not trekking
it doesn’t mean that
you won’t see the mountains.
An easy walk above the village
is a viewpoint at Thumro.
At 2300 metres this is the
highest point south of Pokhara
and the views on a clear day
are spectacular .
Spread before you are rolling
foothills dotted with isolated
farming communities and crowned
by an array of snow peaks
that will leave you breathless.
From Langtang in the east,
through Machhapuchare and
the Annapurnas and around
to Dhaulagiri the Himalayan
giants all line up for your
camera to capture.
During your stay you will
be able to feel what it is
like to live the life of a
Nepali villager. Walk with
your family while they go
about their daily chores,
tending animals, tilling the
fields, going to school with
the children, or just sitting
in the sun talking to neighbours.
Feel free to wander, safely,
by yourself and look at all
of the developments that the
community have supported and
funded; the primary health
centre with its’ doctor,
the agricultural service centre,
the veterinary hospital, the
plant nursery and forest plantation.
The list goes on..
And, at the end of your stay,
you will be overwhelmed by
the farewell that your new
family will give you. If you
never come this way again
the village and its people
will remain in your heart
forever. |
