Trip Overview

Join us on the incredible Kori Hill Trek with the Highland Eco Trek, which promises breathtaking vistas of the mountains and enthralling scenery. Crafted specifically for novices, this amazing bundle provides a retreat into seclusion with Mother Nature as your only company. There aren’t many homestays along this modest trip, so you can be sure to go to bed comfortably at the end of the day. It’s a photographer’s heaven, with the most spectacular scenic splendour unfolding before your lens. Additionally, you may fully experience the essence of trekking in Nepal on this trek.

Entering the lively village of Sikles, a little but densely populated community home to various ethnic groups, chiefly Gurungs, marks the start of the experience. You embark on a multi-day hike from Sikles to explore the captivating Kapuche Lake, a magnificent glacier lake tucked away in an incredible setting. You follow your route to Kori Danda, the crown jewel after you have had time to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings of Kapuche Lake. At 3800 meters above sea level, Kori Danda provides unmatched panoramic views of the nearby natural beauties. Kori Danda is not like tall mountains; instead, it’s a charming hill covered in brilliant flowers and verdant meadows. Those who rise early are rewarded with a strange scene of hazy clouds enveloping their surroundings. Not to mention their breathtaking show of golden-hued sunrises and sunsets that beautify this enchanted location.

From Kori Hill, a quick walk gets you to Nyamla Pass, which serves as the entrance to Manang, one of Nepal’s most popular trekking destinations. Having enjoyed the peace of Kori Hill, the journey downhill to Tangting takes you through the interesting settlements of Kolashotar. The Gurung ethnic group is said to have originated in Sota, and the area is still dotted with the remains of old palaces that existed hundreds of years ago. The road drops steadily till it reaches Tangting, the conclusion point of this incredible adventure.

The Annapurna region’s remarkable and lesser-known trekking path is the Kori Hill Trek. It provides a special chance to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape while embracing isolation. Knowing that the Highland Eco Trek team is your reliable guide means that you are in the capable hands of people with extensive experience and familiarity with this less-travelled route. The experiences and memories made on this tour, despite its distance, will surely endure a lifetime. Come along on this lovely and rewarding hike where you may enjoy the beauties of nature.

Basic Information

How do I get from Pokhara to the Kori Hill trek?
The hike might also be called 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 an adventure close to home.

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 among 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.

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.

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

Is this the first time I can do the Kori Hill trek?

Yes, you can do the Kori Hill trek as your first trek in Nepal. It’s accessible and suitable for beginner hikers, offering manageable terrain and stunning views that make it a rewarding introduction to trekking in the Annapurna Himalayas.

Plan the Kori Trek into your itinerary to explore the unspoiled splendour of Nepal’s Annapurna area. Experience many cultures firsthand, take in the stunning scenery, and make lifelong memories. Our goal at Highland Eco-Trek Agency is to turn your trip to Kori Trek into an amazing experience.
