Kori Himal Trek Overview
If you are looking for stunning mountain vistas and incredible scenery in the Annapurna Region, the Kori Danda Trek is the ideal option for you as a beginner. There are few homestays along the fairly challenging Kori Kaski hike, but there are a ton of thrilling discoveries. On this trip from Pokhara to Kori Danda, one can truly experience the spirit of trekking in Nepal.
A brand-new trekking trail, the Kori Hill Trek, provides impressive vistas of snow-capped mountains and traverses a rich forest of oak and rhododendrons. The journey of the Kori Sikles Hill offers spectacular scenery of the Pokhara Valley, Tangting and Sikles villages, Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Lamjung Range. The hike offers stunning and pristine natural beauty and is easy to moderate in difficulty. This region is highly populated by Ghale and Gurung people. They practice Buddhism as well as Bon Po, who admires nature and all of spirituality. Unlike other castes in Nepal, Gurung and Ghale have distinctive cultures and languages.
10 Days Kori Danda Trek begins from the busy city of Pokhara, where you will get all the facilities you expect. At Sikles village, where you will spend your first night in a Gurung Homestay, is where you will experience the first warm night. These are typical houses constructed of mud bricks, bamboo, and wood. To get there, you must take a jeep drive about 40 km from Pokhara to Sikles. You will traverse oak and rhododendron woodland on your way to Hugu Goth after leaving Sikles. Along your journey, you will see beautiful waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, wild animals, and birds. You will rise to Nohtha on the Kori Hill Trek from Hugu Goth through a meandering trail. After Nohtha, you will set off on your long-awaited journey to your final destination, Kori Danda. You will descend to Sikles after exploring Kori Danda, and then board a jeep to Pokhara to complete the Kori Pokhara trip.
