Overview

Sirubari village is a totally unspoiled Gurung settlement situated at an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level. The village is in Syangja district, southwest of Pokhara, and takes about 4 hours by private jeep and 6 to 7 hours by local bus to reach.

The major attractions of Sirubari village are the daily lifestyle of the Gurung community. Gurung is one of the ethnic groups of Nepal. These typical Nepalese villagers will look after you, entertain you, and give you a taste of true Nepali hospitality, which you are not likely to experience in the cities. Other worthwhile sights include the panoramic views of the Nepal Himalayas. A short excursion to Thumro, which is an hour’s walk away, is rewarded with breathtaking views. From here, you can see the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Foot trails are all stone-paved. We rarely find tourists who have visited this village and were not
