Kori Trek

Kori Trek and Sikles Wilderness Overview

The Kori Trek is an incredible wilderness adventure in the Annapurna region, located northeast of Pokhara. Often referred to as a paradise trek, Kori Danda sits at an altitude of 3,800m and offers stunning panoramic views of towering peaks such as Lamjung Himal (6,988m), Annapurna II (7,937m), and Machhapuchhre (Mount Fishtail, 6,993m). The journey primarily begins from Sikles, one of the largest and most vibrant indigenous Gurung villages in Nepal, making this an exceptional cultural and nature-focused trek. Depending on the preference of travelers, this trip can be organized as a fully supported camping trek.

Kapuche Lake Side Trip and Annapurna Circuit Extension

A major highlight along the route is a side trip to Kapuche Lake (Kahphuche Lake), recognized as the lowest glacial lake in the world at an altitude of 2,450m. Featuring crystal-clear blue waters, the lake offers visitors a chance to enjoy boating in a unique glacial setting. Combining Sikles, Kori Danda, and Kapuche Lake creates a rich two-in-one itinerary. Additionally, experienced trekkers looking for a longer expedition can extend their journey from Kori Danda to Timang over the challenging Namun La Pass (5,560m) to connect with the classic Annapurna Circuit Trek.
