- Sirubari is a typical Gurung village in the western region of Nepal. It is located at 1700 meters above sea level. This village is renowned for its outer and inner features. Exterior features include neat, clean, well-managed resources and the town's beauty. In contrast, the inner aspect is the cultural prosperity of the Gurung people, which has helped local people gain recognition. The flow of internal and external travelers has made this beautiful place more charming and renowned.
The Homestay Tour to Sirubari Village begins from Naudanda after driving from Pokhara. You can also drive there directly from Kathmandu. Then you start hiking for about 3-4 hours through some beautiful, typical villages. As you reach the town, you receive a warm welcome from the villagers, accompanied by traditional Nepali cultural music. Their lifestyle is wonderful. They live as a group, closely and co-operatively. Gurung people look forward to preserving the traditional cultural program known as Rodhi. You may not have Western foods in Sirubari Village. They serve local foods which are very delicious and healthy. The sleeping place and the restrooms are neat and clean. To experience a unique way of life in the countryside, take a village tour to Sirubari for an unforgettable experience. Sirubari has won the best awards from the Nepal Tourism Board in village tourism. The panoramic views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and the surrounding range are outstanding.
