Sirubari Village Tour
At Annapurna Travels, we have always backed village tourism to the hilt. This has been our policy for decades. We have always felt that village tourism offers a unique opportunity for visitors to get involved with Nepal’s unique & colorful cultural life. We go places where life is slow and everything is done by hand. Our company generally works out a deal with a whole village to accommodate and entertain guests; rooms in local houses are fitted with bathrooms and a few tourist-style comforts, host families are trained to prepare meals hygienically, and a guide accompanies the guests to interpret. Localized though it is, we go the length to ensure no compromise is made on services, no matter what the environment…
Sirubari village is a quiet Gurung settlement in the hills at 1700 meters above sea level and short drive / walk (gentle hike) from Pokhara. The climate is ideal at any time during the September to June season where the days are warm with cool nights. This program is especially prepared to know the locals and their culture staying within a village environment as a family member. The village will welcome you and you can stay in one of the family homes of the village. The accommodation is simple but comfortable with good bedding and a clean toilet with facilities that are comfortable as per village standards.
