The trail above Kali Gandaki River tantalized a generation of trekkers. Mustang is considered a restricted area, and there are some government formalities like obtaining a special permit.

We have to go along the Kali Gandaki, called now the Mustang Khola, we cross the iron bridge and make a steep ascent onto the terrace ahead to reach Chele (3050 m). The village is clean, very inward looking and perched on a place which allows the checking of all the valley movements. We already can feel the change of ethnic groups and customs. Then the trail after Chele is desolate desert, climb the unstable pebble and come up on a small plateau, closed by a surprising bottleneck of stone penitents. After a view of Gyagar village, a wall-surrounded village we pass through small pass (3530 m), continue the trail is through gentle mountain flank and little downward and come to Samar village, surrounded by poplar grove, a good irrigation system and friendly people. Campsite near the village. 4.30 hours walk.

The trail climbs above Samar village on the ridge and crossing many valleys by going up and down many times. After crossing few hamlets, namely Bhena & Yamdo, a long ascent starts to Baga La pass (3870 m) which is pilled by stones. We descend, pass the valley, here we will find a holy cave fervently venerated by the inhabitants (especially a Chorten shaped stalactite). Way up across another canyon, spectacular too, till Shyangmochen (3700m) where we rejoin the main trail. After crossing another short pass (3860m) and descend the path, crossing a stream, move along the stone walls in the farm field we finally come to small village of Geling (3520m).

On the way out of Tsarang we pass nearby a turbine which once provided electricity to the village. Several mills work on that torrent and a big chorten marks the way out of the village. Many troglodytes’ settlements are towering us. A dry valley, which progressively becomes greener, leads us to a pass where prayer flags are flapping at 3870m. We overlook the Lo Manthang valley. There is a short walking hour for arriving below the Mustang capital walls. The place has two gates: the main one on the north, the second one, unobtrusive and discreet, on the south.

After an expended and memorable visit of such historical places in Lo Manthang, we start our walk today with an easy start. We walk in the flat path for about 2.30 hours without any strenuous trail and then lately gentle descending downward. But, before reaching Die village it’s a steep down walk for half an hour and we reach Die village. After crossing Dhie village we come to cross the river on a metallic bridge and also enjoy walking on the bank of the river. Now we have a steep climb up for about an hour and some gentle steep walk before coming to Yara. Today’s walk would be a 6.30hours walk.
