Kaurik is village in the Lahul and Spiti district, in Himachal Pradesh, India. It is in the valley of the Parang River (also called Pare Chu) before its confluence with the Spiti River. It is close to the border with Tibet. The Tibetan village on the opposite of the border is Tsurup Sumgyi (or Tsosib Sumkyil).[1]

In 1975, landslides during a earthquake completely destroyed the village situated in Kaurik.[2][3]
