Day-04 :

Fly to Jomsom the trek to Kagbeni 2850m 3 hrs.
Early morning flight to Jomosom (2700m), if the weather is clear the high peaks of the Annapurna range will appear almost close enough to reach out and touch. Jomsom is a relatively new town that is now home to the local government and an army base. Clear our permits. Short trek to Kagbeni (2850m/9400ft), and the day to acclimatise. As we enter into Kagbeni, legend says that one should think good thoughts when going through the gate, leaving all bad will outside the town. (2.5 hours)

Day-05 :

Kagbeni – Chele / Tshe - Le (3050m) - 7 hours
After Kagbeni almost immediately the path climbs quite steeply up into the Upper Mustang and trail keeps to the east bank of Kaligandaki River. Chele is quite closer to the Cluster of 16 caves and old habitat of Lamas. After the police checkpoint in Kagbeni, we then officially enter the restricted region of Mustang. We trek up the kali Gandaki valley, with the Annapurna range to the south, we get to view peaks as high 7485m/24550ft Khangsar Khang. Onto Chhuksang, which is a truly beautiful place set deep in the kali Gandaki canyon, with red, orange and silver/grey cliffs. Surrounded by the inaccessible cliff dwellings in the large red rock face opposite Chhuksang. These are also quite common throughout Mustang. They were carved out and lived in by Buddhist hermits. After lunch at Chhuksang we trek and follow the Kali Gandaki river past a town called Chele, and the Chele Canyon. Some places literally carved into the cliff-side. We stay ovenight at Tse- Le.

Day-06 :

Chele – Ghilling (3800m) - 7 hours
This day we trek our first mountain pass at 3320m/10,881 ft. Samar is a small village set in a grove of poplar trees, with a spectacular view of the valley below it. (6 hours) Two trails are leading to Ghilling: the simplest one on the hillside takes 4 hours, the other one follows the 'pilgrims trail' and takes more time. We will take it. At first a steeply drop into a canyon will lead us to an other world…. here we will find a holy cave fervently venerated by the inhabitants (especially a chorten shaped stalactite). Through a spectacular canyon Shyangmochen, cross an other short pass (3860m), we descend to Ghilling at 3520m, to camp. (7 hours)

Day-07 :

Ghilling to Tsarang (3500mvisit red, black and white small chortens) - 5 hours
On a clear day the kitchen team will lay out an alfresco breakfast for us and what an appropriate place for it. The day begins with us heading North West up to Nyi La the southern border of the land of Lo. After the pass the dry arid landscape becomes so pronounced. We descend to the Tangmar river besides which there is a green patch, right below the village of Ghami, where we have lunch below the old Poplar trees. After lunch we cross the river to climb to the world's highest rice growing area, an experimental site, Ghami hospital, vegetable farm and the longest prayer wall in Nepal. Climb steadily to a pass to thereafter descend gently to the magnificent Red Gate of Tsarang.
