Chele is a Mongolian village where all the villagers are from the Gurung Community. From Tanbe the trail again climbs to a high point around 3100m. The trail then drops steeply and undulates along the east bank of Kali Gandaki for 1.5 hours to the village of Chhuksang.
After a short walk along the river bed, there is a solid bridge across the Kali Gandaki at the point where it tunnels its way under a vast block of red sandstone; from here it is a short sharp climb to Chele after lunch.

Starting out early, you move steadily uphill to Geling. From Ghimi, climbing still further, you reach Tsarang, which is the second most popular settlement after Lomanthan. At Tsarang, there is an old palace where the “piece de resistance” is a set of human hands. It is said to belong to the master builder of the palace. The hands were cut off in order to stop him from building another palace in the same grandeur some eight hundred years ago.

From Geling, two trails level down east of the village, one steeply past a trio of red, black and white chortens that are a common sight in upper Mustang. At the bottom are two bridges across the river where there is a direct path to this point. The trail climbs onto a gently sloping plateau and passes beside a very long mani wall, about 1/2 hour from Ghami. Climbing steadily, an altitude of 3770m is reached after about 2 hours from Ghami. The descent to Tsarang is mostly gentle and completed in another 2 hours.

The trail leaves Tsarang to the northwest and the village disappears into the Tsarang Chu canyon. Having climbed to around 3850 m. a pass is reached and through a narrow ‘window ‘at the summit the view ahead opens out to display the western valley of Lo-Manthang. Just down from the pass is the first dramatic view of the walled city of Lo-Manthang and the ancient ruined forts. There is a tremendous view to the east of the red, blue, grey, white and yellow eroded Mustang Khola canyon; to the north lie the flattish red colored hills and the Tibetan border. The western view is dominated by the snow-capped peak of ‘Manaslu‘. The descent to Lo-Manthang is short and after crossing the small river and climbing briefly the fabled city is finally reached.

The trail climbs steadily to a pass marked by a cairn offering a last glimpse of LoManthang. The trail contours past two small ridges and valleys before crossing a ridge at 4070m and descending southwards through two more valleys, meadows and a stream. The trail then makes a long rocky descent to Gekar. Lo Gekar Gompa is older than Samye Gompa in Tibet and is one of the oldest Gompas in Nepal. We cross a ridge after a little climbing and drop down steeply to Thamar village. The trail descends alongside the stone walls and fields of extensive villages before climbing to a ridge. It is a short descent from there to Ghami (3490m).

Shyangmochen will bring us to Kagbeni.

Similarly we retrace our way back. Firstly we arrive at Tangbe from Chhuksung and then to Kagbeni. Kagbeni looks like a town from the medieval past with mud houses, dark tunnels and alleys and its people still dressed in typical Tibetan clothing.
