The Kori Trek wins for high altitude scenery with 3,800 m ridge views of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. The Khumai Trek wins for easier walking, better teahouse comfort, and a 5 day Pokhara return. Kori runs 6 to 8 days from Pokhara via Sikles and reaches 3,800 m. Khumai runs 5 to 7 days from Pokhara via Saripakha and reaches 3,245 m at Khumai Danda. Cost runs USD 350 to USD 550 for Kori and USD 300 to USD 480 for Khumai.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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

The Kori Trek starts with a 3 hour jeep drive from Pokhara to Sikles at 2,000 m. From Sikles the trail climbs to Kori Danda at 3,800 m over 2 days, with 6,400 m Annapurna II dominating the skyline. The route is moderate with 1,200 m of climbing on day 2 and a steep descent on the return. Teahouse infrastructure is basic with 4 lodges at Kori and 2 at Hugu Goth. Most lodges have shared squat toilets and no hot showers.<\/p>\n

The Khumai Trek starts with a 2 hour drive from Pokhara to Saripakha at 1,520 m, then climbs to Khumai Danda at 3,245 m over 2 days through Ghachok and Hillent. Khumai has 6 teahouses along the route with attached bathrooms at most stops and hot showers for USD 3 to USD 5. The views from Khumai include Machhapuchhre at 6,993 m, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. A 90 minute climb above Khumai reaches Korchan viewpoint at 3,700 m for a 5:45 am Machhapuchhre sunrise.<\/p>\n

Time budget is the biggest factor. Kori needs 6 to 8 days for the round trip from Pokhara including a Sikles acclimatization night. Khumai fits in 5 days from Pokhara with no acclimatization. Altitude tolerance is the second factor. Kori reaches 3,800 m and trekkers need 1 acclimatization night at Sikles before the 1,800 m climb to Kori. Khumai stays under 3,300 m and most trekkers skip acclimatization. Mild AMS rates run 10 to 15 percent on Kori versus 2 to 4 percent on Khumai.<\/p>\n

Photography goals are the third factor. Kori offers clear Annapurna II sunrise shots from the ridge at 6:15 am with golden light on the 6,400 m north face. Khumai offers Machhapuchhre sunrise shots from Korchan viewpoint at 5:45 am with the 6,993 m summit framed against the sky. Crowds are the fourth factor. Kori sees 20 to 40 daily trekkers in autumn. Khumai sees 50 to 90 daily trekkers in October and November.<\/p>\n

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

Book Kori departures between October 10 and November 20 for 75 to 80 percent clear mornings at 3,800 m. Reserve the 4 Kori lodges 6 weeks ahead because they fill by mid September. Carry a minus 5 C sleeping bag for October nights at 3,800 m. For Khumai book 4 weeks ahead for autumn departures and carry a minus 2 C bag. Khumai lodges have hot showers and attached bathrooms at USD 3 to USD 5, Kori lodges do not.<\/p>\n

\u4ee3\u66ff\u6848\u3068\u306e\u6bd4\u8f03<\/h2>\n

Mardi Himal Trek at 4,500 m offers a similar altitude profile to Kori with better teahouse infrastructure. It runs 5 to 7 days from Pokhara with 12 lodges at High Camp and costs USD 380 to USD 580. Poon Hill at 3,210 m runs 3 to 4 days with 80 to 85 percent clear October mornings but sees 250 to 400 trekkers a day. Khopra Ridge at 3,660 m runs 7 to 9 days with 4 lodges and 60 to 90 daily trekkers.<\/p>\n

Trekkers often book Kori in 5 days from Pokhara without the Sikles acclimatization night. The 1,800 m ascent from 2,000 m to 3,800 m in 2 days triggers mild AMS in 10 to 15 percent of trekkers.<\/p>\n

A second mistake is treating Khumai as a winter trek. December to February sees 50 to 60 percent cloud cover at 3,245 m and the Khumai lodges close for 6 weeks in January.<\/p>\n

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

Which is shorter, Kori or Khumai?<\/strong> Khumai at 5 days from Pokhara. Kori needs 6 to 8 days because of the 3 hour drive to Sikles and the acclimatization night.<\/p>\n

\u5c71\u306e\u666f\u8272\u304c\u826f\u3044\u306e\u306f\u3069\u308c?<\/strong> Kori at 3,800 m offers 75 to 80 percent clear October mornings with Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. Khumai at 3,245 m offers Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.<\/p>\n

Which is easier physically?<\/strong> Khumai. Maximum daily gain is 700 m versus 1,200 m on Kori day 2.<\/p>\n

\u4e21\u65b9\u306e\u30c8\u30ec\u30c3\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0\u3092\u7d44\u307f\u5408\u308f\u305b\u308b\u3053\u3068\u306f\u3067\u304d\u307e\u3059\u304b?<\/strong> Yes, in 9 to 11 days from Pokhara. Add USD 100 to USD 150 for the connecting jeep transfer between Sikles and Saripakha.<\/p>\n

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

The Kori Trek reaches 3,800 m with Annapurna II views in 6 to 8 days for USD 350 to USD 550. The Khumai Trek reaches 3,245 m with Machhapuchhre views in 5 days for USD 300 to USD 480. Kori wins for altitude, solitude, and photography. Khumai wins for accessibility, lodge comfort, and lower altitude.<\/p>\n

\u7d50\u8ad6<\/h2>\n

Choose Kori for high altitude photography and solitude below Annapurna II. Choose Khumai for a 5 day Pokhara return with comfort and lower altitude. Book either trek for October and November for the clearest mornings, and reserve lodges 4 to 6 weeks ahead for autumn departures.<\/p>\n
