The short answer
Kori Danda is a ridge near Sikles in Lamjung, reached by road from Pokhara, with views of Annapurna II, Lamjung Himal and Machhapuchhre. A typical short plan runs Sikles to Tasa, then Kori Danda, then back, over three days. It is a Gurung area with homestays and few other trekkers.
The trail is gentle to moderate and good for people who want mountain views and village culture without crowds.
