Description
The Sikles Kori Danda trek is a newly opened trekking route in the Annapurna Region. The Kori trek became popular after the GHumante travelers exposed the hidden gem near Sikles village. We can call this an off-the-beaten-track trek because the infrastructure is limited and everything is basic at the moment. Recently, we hiked up to Kori from Sikles to check the routes, and we found that it takes quite more time to welcome foreign tourists who want a bit of standard, neat, and friendly treatment.
