Kori Trek

Overview of Kori Trek

Kori Trek, or Kori Hill Danda Trek, is one of the most sought-after trekking journeys in the Annapurna region. Located in the Annapurna conservation area, you will be offered nothing but the serene beauty of the hills and the enthralling views of the Himalayas surrounding the trekking site.

Moreover, the trek is perfect for both solo and in a group. This journey will be ideal if you are looking for a getaway soon.

Besides the end destination, the hilly trails are all about alluring landscapers, fresh greenery, and a culturally rich lifestyle and traditions. Our Kori Hill trek package gives you the best possible facilities, and you will find much convenience throughout your travel with us. Make sure to read until the end to know about all that we offer. (The services include but are not limited to the following!).

Kori Trek – A new trekking destination

The Kori trek offers a beautiful experience of exploring the vistas of the Himalayas and green hills simultaneously. It is one of the easiest yet thrilling treks in the Annapurna region. If you are a trekking enthusiast, you will want to explore the conserved area at least once.

Furthermore, the journey will last from around 9 to 10 days only. Trekkers can, however, extend their trekking days as they please. Besides the hilly trail and mountain views afar, visitors will also experience the beauty of other central locations like Pokhara Valley, Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, Tangting and Sikles villages, and Lamjung Range.

Similarly, you will find villages dominated by Ghale and Gurung communities. The ethnic people share similar traditions and are keen on living in unity and harmony. Though Kori Hill trails are very close to Pokhara city, you are more than likely to discover that the people living in villages there are not as much influenced by modernity and Westernization. They are inclined towards traditional ways. The orthodox lifestyle makes one’s journey all the more authentic and unique, but only in the best possible way.

When you go on the Kori Hill trek, you will get the best of every possible Nepali world. You will cover cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara while walking through the hills amidst beautiful waterfalls, panoramic pastures, and Gurung villages. You will also enjoy the view of tall and majestic mountains at a fair distance from your trekking pathway.

There are several highlights of the Kori Hill trek that you might want to keep in mind before starting your journey. Knowing about your destination beforehand makes your trek all the more exciting. Some of the significant highlights of the Kori Danda trek are as follows:

Pokhara tour

The Kori Hill trek starts and ends at Pokhara. Hence, you won’t only be going to the rural part of the hills but also discovering the beauty of the famous city, a significant tourist attraction in Nepal. The Pokhara valley is filled with tourists and remains so throughout the year. Touring around Pokhara makes you fall in love with every aspect, from the lively city life to the ever-serious hill treks. Touring through Pokhara will be a journey that will keep you attentive and invested in every aspect you come through.

Sikles Gurung village

In Sikles, you will come through several Gurung communities. Since the village’s inhabitants are familiar to tourists, they tend to be welcoming to every other visitor. Many trekkers are invested in discovering the history and lifestyle of the people living around Sikles.

Therefore, the trek will be a perfect opportunity for such trekkers to contact one or a few of the villages, which are friendly and almost always willing to help and support visitors. Exploring the town becomes even better when you see their way of life through their food and houses and by observing all the different clothes they wear.

Chili Kohinbo Temple

There aren’t many places in Nepal that have temples of the Bon religion.
You can visit a famous Bon temple in the Kori Hill trek, one of the few in the country. The temple is known as Chili Kohinbo Temple. Though a religion followed by only a set group of people, Chili Kohinbo temple is open for everyone to visit, regardless of religion. This will also mark an experience that will stick with you and be paired with uniqueness, making your visit memorable.

Waterfall and streams

There are plenty of waterways in the Annapurna region’s hilly area, including the Kori hill trek pathways. You will come through several waterfalls and streams on your way, both big and small. The water resources in the region freshen up the surroundings while making nature flourish even more. The greenery in the trails’ environment grows and is nourished by the waterfalls and streams that flow throughout the year in several places.

Rocky, yet the comfortable path

The path of the Kori Hill trek is nothing but comfortable, even if you are a beginner. Many trekking pathways make it impossible for beginners to complete them. This is not the case for the Kori Hill trek, as it is easy in Annapurna. You will walk through rocky stone stairs and see many stones and rocks along the way. This does not mean you will face any difficulties hindering your trek.

Lush Rhododendron forests

Rhododendron, also the national flower of Nepal, is abundantly found in the Annapurna region, including the Kori Hill. Trekkers find several places with lush Rhododendron trees,  making their journey as scenic as possible. The flowers bloom in bright colors of red and pink. Since the pathways are a fusion of cold and moderate temperatures, the flora species have it ideally when it comes to growing with richness.

Wildlife Exploration

The wildlife species in the Annapurna region are awe-inspiring for the sight of the onlookers. During your Kori hill trek, you might see several animals, including Himalayan Thar, Musk deer, and Danphe (Lophophorus). The animals may or may not be seen roaming around in the trails. It would help if you went to the upper regions of the trekking path to catch sight of these animals.

Mountain views

The mountains around the hilly region are the most striking highlight of the Kori Hill trek. Almost every mountain in Pokhara includes Lamjung Himal, Machhapuchhre Himal, and Annapurna II. These majestic peaks are almost always clad with snow. The blend of blue and white looks extravagant, as does the blue and white color of the sky. The mountain views will keep your heart and mind at peace. Likewise, if you are a photography enthusiast, you’ll engage with the location’s aesthetics.

Traditional lodges

The lodges and guesthouses you will stay in during your trek will be traditional, both exterior and interior. The trekking activities started much later in the area, which justifies why the locals and the region’s service providers have put their traditional designs and lifestyles into accommodations for visitors.

The locals in a palace know their location better than any outsider. No information on the internet will be a dependable aid when going on the Kori Hill trek.

And at our company, we give our clients just that! The local guidance and knowledge have made it possible to secure our client base for several years.

Our proven record of successful Kori treks and client convenience is evidence of genuine and attested local guidance from our representatives.
