Country: Nepal
Country: Nepal
Duration: 3 days
Description
Kori Danda offers breathtaking views of the majestic Annapurna range, making it a renowned trekking destination.
The Sikles Kori Danda Trek is a newly opened route in the Annapurna Region, gaining popularity after Ghumante travelers showcased this hidden gem near Sikles village. As an off-the-beaten-path trek, infrastructure remains limited, offering only basic facilities. During a recent hike from Sikles to Kori, we found that while the route is stunning, it may take some time to develop the necessary amenities to provide a more comfortable experience for foreign travelers.
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Pokhara
From Pokhara, we will drive to Sikles village, which is about 40 km away. We will have lunch at Sikles village and then trek to Tasa. The trail from Sikles to the Sikles Hydropower Station is all downhill, and the trail from the Hydropower Station to Tasa is all uphill. The distance from Sikles to Tasa is about 6.1 km, and it takes 5-6 hours to complete.
Day 2: Tasa-Kori Danda (7.3 km)
The height of Kori Danda where the lodges are is 3,870 meters, and it takes about 6-7 hours to reach from Tasa.
Day 3: Enjoy the morning views from the tea house or we can walk 20 min to get the better views and same way trek back to Sikles and drive to Pokhara. This plan is just for the Kori Danda but if you want to cover Kapuche lake then 1 extra night needed for Hugu Goth.
