The Kori Trek reaches 3,800 m on the northern Annapurna ridge with views of Annapurna II at 7,937 m, Annapurna IV, and Lamjung Himal. The Khumai Trek reaches 3,200 m at Khumai Danda with closer views of Annapurna South and Machapuchare. Kori is higher and more demanding, taking 5 to 8 days from Pokhara and costing USD 350 to USD 600 per person. Khumai is shorter at 4 to 6 days and costs USD 300 to USD 500 per person. Choose Kori for altitude and ridge views, Khumai for closer Machapuchare views in a shorter time frame.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u8a73\u7d30\u306a\u5185\u8a33<\/h2>\n

Both treks start from Pokhara and use the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit at USD 30 and the TIMS Card at USD 20. The Kori Trek starts at Sikles or Ghachok and climbs through Gurung villages to the Kori ridge at 3,800 m. The Khumai Trek starts at Hemja or Ghachok and climbs through forest to Khumai Danda at 3,200 m, with an optional climb to Korchan at 3,700 m.<\/p>\n

The Kori Trek covers 50 to 60 km with 2,400 m of cumulative ascent. The maximum altitude of 3,800 m requires one acclimatisation day at 3,000 m. The ridge views include Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, Lamjung Himal, and Manaslu to the east. The trail is quiet with 5 to 15 trekkers per day in October.<\/p>\n

The Khumai Trek covers 35 to 45 km with 1,800 m of cumulative ascent. The maximum altitude of 3,200 m is below the acclimatisation threshold for most trekkers. The views include Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare at close range. The trail is moderately busy with 20 to 40 trekkers per day in October.<\/p>\n

Available time is the dominant factor. Trekkers with 4 to 5 days choose Khumai, while trekkers with 6 to 8 days choose Kori. Fitness and altitude tolerance matter too: Kori reaches 3,800 m and needs an acclimatisation day, while Khumai stays below 3,200 m. Weather also affects the choice: Kori ridge is exposed to wind and cloud, while Khumai Danda is partly sheltered by forest. Crowd tolerance matters: Khumai is busier with day trippers from Pokhara.<\/p>\n

\u4e88\u7d04\u306e\u30d2\u30f3\u30c8<\/h2>\n

Book 1 to 2 weeks ahead through a Pokhara based operator. Confirm the trailhead start point in writing because the road extends each year and the start point changes. Carry the ACAP Permit and TIMS Card on the trail because checkpoints are common. Pack a minus 5 Celsius sleeping bag for Kori in October and November. Hire a guide for Kori because the ridge route is unmarked above 3,400 m. Carry USD 100 in cash for emergency jeep hire.<\/p>\n

The Mardi Himal Trek nearby reaches 4,500 m at Mardi Himal Base Camp and is comparable in altitude to Kori but takes 5 to 7 days. The Poon Hill Trek is shorter at 3 to 4 days and reaches 3,210 m with sunrise views over Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The Australian Camp trek is the shortest option at 1 to 2 days and reaches 2,050 m. The Khopra Ridge Trek reaches 3,640 m and takes 5 to 7 days with similar ridge views to Kori.<\/p>\n

Choosing Kori without an acclimatisation day is the most common mistake, leading to altitude sickness at 3,800 m. Booking through a Kathmandu operator without Pokhara ground knowledge is the second: trailhead logistics are easier from Pokhara. Skipping the guide on Kori is the third: the ridge route above 3,400 m is unmarked. Underestimating the cold on Kori ridge is the fourth: night temperatures drop to minus 5 Celsius in October.<\/p>\n

\u30d5\u30a7\u30a4\u30af<\/h2>\n

Which is higher, Kori or Khumai?<\/strong> Kori at 3,800 m, with an optional climb to 4,200 m on the ridge. Khumai Danda is 3,200 m, with an optional climb to Korchan at 3,700 m.<\/p>\n

Which is shorter, Kori or Khumai?<\/strong> Khumai at 4 to 6 days from Pokhara. Kori is 5 to 8 days. Both start within 1 to 2 hours of Pokhara by jeep.<\/p>\n

\u30d3\u30e5\u30fc\u304c\u826f\u3044\u306e\u306f\u3069\u308c?<\/strong> Kori for the wide northern Annapurna ridge including Annapurna II and Manaslu. Khumai for closer views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare.<\/p>\n

How much do the Kori and Khumai treks cost?<\/strong> Kori USD 350 to USD 600 per person for 5 to 8 days. Khumai USD 300 to USD 500 per person for 4 to 6 days, both including permits, guide, and tea house lodging.<\/p>\n

\u307e\u3068\u3081<\/h2>\n

Kori is higher at 3,800 m with northern Annapurna ridge views and takes 5 to 8 days. Khumai is shorter at 4 to 6 days and reaches 3,200 m with closer Machapuchare views. Both cost USD 300 to USD 600 per person.<\/p>\n

\u7d50\u8ad6<\/h2>\n

Choose the Kori Trek for altitude and wide northern ridge views with 6 to 8 days available. Choose the Khumai Trek for closer Machapuchare views in 4 to 6 days. Both are excellent short treks from Pokhara with similar cost structures and the same permits.<\/p>\n
