An Expedition into the Uncharted
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 one of its most notable features; they serve as a haven for livestock from the neighboring Sikles and Tangting villages.
Generations have passed down a rich culture and tradition.
The region, primarily inhabited by Ghale and Gurung people, is rich in Buddhism and Bon Po, a nature-centric spiritual tradition, adding cultural diversity to trekking experiences.
Holy Lake of Dudh Pokhari
Along the Kori Trek, you'll come across detours that go through Syange and eventually join the well-known Annapurna Circuit. Dudh Pokhari Lake is a holy body of water that pilgrims visit along the route; they particularly come here during the Janaipurnima festival, which is held on the Full Moon Day in September. Your trek takes on a spiritual dimension as Dudh Pokhari Lake adorns the northeast face of Kori Hill.
The Cost and Itinerary of the Kori Trek
The first leg of your Kori Trek tour begins with a breathtaking 6- to 7-hour drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The next day, leave Pokhara and drive for three hours to Sikles, a charming Gurung village encircled by lush forest.
