Sikles Kapuche Lake Trek Overview
The trek to Kapuche Glacier Lake is one of the most popular new trekking routes in Nepal's Annapurna region. Along with being remote, in a beautiful natural setting, and less traveled than other treks in Annapurna. The Kaphuche Trek is a good choice if you are seeking a trekking path that provides stunning scenery, a remote way of life, and a seldom-hiked track.
The Sikles Kapuche Lake trekking route will pass through unspoiled natural areas, lovely mountain communities, and high alpine meadows hidden beneath the majestic Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II (7937m), and Annapurna IV mountains (7525m). You will get the chance to stroll through a rhododendron-filled woodland, fascinating terraced field structures, and picturesque mountain ranges and sceneries. In addition, there are several bird species, waterfalls, wild honey bees, and various wild animals and birds that you may witness while trekking to Kapuche Ice Lake. If you are lucky, while you explore Kaphuche Lake, you will catch a glimpse of a few minor avalanches that are tumbling straight down to the lake while making a sliding noise from the snow and ice.
8 Days Kapuche Glacier Lake Trek starts in the bustling city of Pokhara, where you can find all the amenities you need. The Pokhara Valley also serves as the starting point for the Kapuche Trek. Reaching Sikles village from Pokhara would take a 4WD jeep around 3 to 4 hours to go about 40 kilometers. An expansive view of the mountains can be seen from Sikles, one of the lovely Gurung settlements. A Gurung Homestay or guesthouse, where you will enjoy your first warm night, is where you will spend your first night. Wood, bamboo, and mud bricks make up the majority of the residences in Sikles. In order to get to Hugu Goth, also known as the Base Camp of Kapuche Lake, you must first trek for 5 to 6 hours from Sikles through oak and rhododendron woods. Along the way, you will see stunning waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, wild animals, and birds. To get to beautiful lower-altitude Glacier Lake from Hugu village, you will have to climb for another two hours on a rocky, narrow trail. You will once again descend to Hugu village for an overnight stay after spending some time visiting Kapuche Lake's surroundings. The next morning, you will travel once more to Sikles before taking a jeep to Pokhara to complete your Sikles Kapuche Trek.
