Kori Hill Trek- Wilderness Trekking Trail

Kori Hill and Kapuche Lakes Trek
Trekkers searching for pristine natural beauty and tranquil landscapes are discovering that the hidden gem known as Kori Trek, located in the heart of the Annapurna range, is a thrilling new destination. The Kori Trek offers breathtaking views of the towering Himalayas while taking you into Nepal’s pristine environment, which is nestled within the inner Annapurna conservation buffer zone. This journey, sometimes called the “crown jewel of Sikles and Tangting villages,” promises an amazing experience away from the well-traveled routes of the Mardi Himal trek and Annapurna Base camp.

A Journey Through the Unexplored
Kori Trek is a relatively unknown walking path that offers simple tea house accommodations at an elevation of 3,800 meters above sea level. The route passes through tranquil eco-pathways, thick rhododendron forests, breathtaking scenery, and strenuous ascents. The beautiful green pastures that spring to life during the monsoon season are one of its most notable features; they serve as a haven for livestock from the neighbouring Sikles and Tangting villages.

Rich Culture and Tradition
Historically, the Ghale and Gurung people—who follow Buddhism and the nature-based spiritual system known as Bon Po—have made up the majority of the population in this area. Trekking with the Gurung and Ghale populations adds a rich layer of cultural richness because of their unique traditions and languages.

Dudh Pokhari Holy Lake
You’ll come across detours along the Kori Trek that lead to Timang village and ultimately join the well-known Annapurna Circuit. You’ll pass by the holy Dudh Pokhari Lake en route, which draws pilgrims, particularly on Full Moon Day in September, when Janaipurnima is celebrated. A spiritual element is added to your voyage by the lake Dudh Pokhari, which is situated on the northeastern slope of Kori Hill.

Kapuche is the lowest glacial lake in Nepal.
The Kapuche Lake Trek is a four-day excursion to the lowest altitude glacier lake in Nepal’s Annapurna area, at 2546 meters. The trail features unique and authentic landscapes, meadows, and breathtaking white mountains. The major feature is Kapuche, a blue glacier lake surrounded by lush trees, terraced meadows, and a variety of species. The Sikles Kapuche Lake Trek is a new trekking destination in Nepal that offers less congested and isolated terrain. The lake’s name, Kaphuche, means “lake formed by melting snow sliding down and settling on flat land.”

The Itinerary
The first leg of your journey on the Kori Trek begins with a breathtaking drive (6 to 7 hours) from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Take a 3-hour trip the next day from Pokhara to Sikles, a charming Gurung village encircled by thick nature. You may experience the warmth and hospitality of the locals by spending some time exploring the little village of Sikles.

How do I get from Pokhara to the Kori Hill trek?
The hike might also be appropriately titled the Sikles (Kori Danda) trek. The journey from Pokhara Kaoukhola to Sikles takes about 47 kilometres (30 miles) by jeep. This tour is great for individuals who want to have an adventure close to home.

Spectacular Views from Kori Danda
The beautiful view from Kori Danda is one of the highlights of the Kori Trek. Admire the majestic peaks of Lamjung Himal (6988 m), Machhapuchhare Mount Fishtail (6,993 m), Annapurna II (7,937 m), and Manaslu Himal (8,156 m). These breathtaking vistas will undoubtedly stick in your memory forever.

Which season is best for the Kori Hill Trek?
All year round, the views from the Kori Hill trek are spectacular, but the best months to visit are May through June, August through September, and January through March. The hill is covered in vibrant wildflowers, rich vegetation, and sporadically icy tops that contrast with the cloud formations in the valley during these times. With sights of the magnificent Annapurna and Fishtail mountains, the sunset views are particularly breathtaking. Kori Hill offers a unique experience for nature lovers and photographers alike, capturing the spirit of Nepal’s natural beauty all year long, whether strolling through the lush scenery of the monsoon season, rain and leech, or the chilly, crisp air of winter.

Trails and Terrain
You will experience a variety of ascension and descent pathways, meandering through deep jungles and doing moderate treks during your adventure. The main activity of the Kori Trek is camping under a tent, which allows you to take in the untainted raw beauty of the Annapurna region.

Cost of Kori Trek
Your preferred method of travel, your lodging choices, and your available transportation options all affect how much your Kori Trek will cost. In addition to typical trip comforts, you can make additional arrangements for lodging in Pokhara; these are cost estimates. Our crew can help with making arrangements for lodging in Pokhara as well as transportation to and from Pokhara.

Facilities for Lodging on the Kori Himal Trek
A teahouse walk that runs through guesthouses is called the Kori Himal Trip. The Kori Danda Trek Route passes through a very remote and poorly populated region of the Annapurna range. The result is that there aren’t many services and that the hotel options are basic. The rooms are usually small and the bathrooms may be shared. Twin sharing is available in most of the rooms. The options will get smaller as the altitude increases, particularly in the peak hiking season when all the hotels are booked up.
