About Sirubari Village
A new concept in Nepal Travel…..
In the past touring in Nepal has meant either trekking along the trails or staying in specially built resorts. Getting to know the locals and their culture has been difficult.
Now you can experience a stay in an unspoiled village living as a family member.
Sirubari Village: The village is a totally unspoiled Gurung settlement set in the hills at 1700 metres above sea level.The climate is ideal at any time during the September to June season with warm days and cool nights.
Sirubari 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 trail to the village is steep but well made and most people manage to reach the village after a three hour walk.
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 as well as clean toilet facilities. The food is delicious and you will be eating your meals as one of the family.
Each night there will be entertainment provided by the community .One evening this will be in the form of traditional Gurung and Nepali dancing and singing, you can join in if you like!
Mountain views: Just because you are not trekking it doesn’t mean that you won’t see the mountains. An easy one hour walk above the village is the viewpoint at Thumro. At 2300 meters 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 Manaslu in the east, through Machhapuchare and the Annapurnas and around to Dhaulagiri the Himalayan giants all line up for your camera to capture.
Village Life: 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 neighbors. Feel free to wander, safety, 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.
