Kaurik (Chinese: 曲惹) is village in the Lahul and Spiti district, in Himachal Pradesh, India. It is in the valley of the Parang or Pare Chu river before its confluence with the Spiti River. Kaurik is close to the border with Tibet, the opposite village on the Tibetan side being Tsurup Sumgyi (or Tsosib Sumkyil).[1][lower-alpha 1] China claims the village as part of its Zanda County, Tibet.

Kaurik is connected to the rest of India through Kaurik-Sumdo Road, which is one of the India-China Border Roads. Sumdo is connected to the rest of India through two national highways - the NH 5 Sumdo-Nako-Shimla Highway through Kinnaur district and the NH 505 Sumdo-Kaza-Gramphu-Manali highway through Spiti River valley which remains closed for 7 months due to lack of road tunnel at snow-clad Kunzum Pass (4,551 m or 14,931 ft).[2]

In 1975, landslides during an earthquake completely destroyed the village situated in Kaurik,[3][4] Largest number of survivors of Kaurik village now reside in Hoorling village in this area. The ruins of Kaurik are in a restricted area under Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) control.
