What to expect

Kapuche Lake Trek via Sikles & Kori Danda – 6 Days is designed for travelers looking for an experience beyond the classic Annapurna Base Camp route, offering a quieter and equally memorable journey into the hidden valleys north of Pokhara. Instead of busy trails, you’ll walk through the authentic Gurung village of Sikles, peaceful forests, and open alpine landscapes on your way to Kapuche Lake — a pristine glacial lake set beneath dramatic Himalayan scenery.

The journey continues to Kori Danda, a stunning ridge with sweeping views of Annapurna, Lamjung Himal, and surrounding peaks. The peaceful environment, wide horizons, and ever-changing mountain light create moments that feel just as special as any high mountain destination.

With welcoming community lodges, rich local culture, and uncrowded trails, this trek is ideal for those seeking something different from Annapurna Base Camp — a more intimate adventure that still delivers remarkable mountain views and a genuine Himalayan experience.
