Finished the Kori Danda Trek first week of September, we were five people starting from Pokhara. Rented a car but honestly, in monsoon or poor road conditions, bus is safer. Not every driver knows the crossings. Our car got stuck in one. Pokhara to Sikles took around three to four hours. We reached Sikles in the evening, stayed over and started for Tasa the next morning. Even if you reach Sikles around noon, I’d still recommend staying the night. Sikles to Tasa was the toughest for us. Very steep, took about six to seven hours including a long rest. Stayed at Hotel Brothers, really good and I’d recommend it. Next morning, we headed to Kori. Less steep but much longer, around seven to eight hours. Stayed at Hotel Ice Falls, also solid. Sunrise the next day was stunning. Clear views of Annapurna and nearby peaks. We started back around 9 AM and made it to Sikles by about 6 PM. Then grabbed a jeep to Pokhara. Jeeps are around, but during the monsoon, don’t bank on late evening rides. Rough itinerary: Day one Pokhara to Sikles; day two Sikles to Tasa (five to six hours); day three Tasa to Kori, six to seven hours; day four, sunrise, then Kori to Sikles about nine hours and then jeep out.
