Kaurik (Chinese: 曲惹) and (Hindi: कौरिक) is a village in the Lahul and Spiti district, in Himachal Pradesh, India.
Kaurik is close to the border with Tibet, the opposite village on the Tibetan side being Tsurup Sumgyi (or Tsosib Sumkyil).
The ruins of Kaurik are in a restricted area under Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) control.
[citation needed] Kaurik is connected to the rest of India through the Kaurik–Sumdo Road, and from Sumdo, through two national highways—the NH 5 Sumdo-Nako-Shimla Highway through Kinnaur district and the NH 505 Sumdo-Kaza-Gramphu-Manali highway through the Spiti River valley.
The latter remains closed for 7 months due to winter snows on the Kunzum Pass (4,551 m or 14,931 ft).
