Kagbeni - chuksang - Chele (3100m)








I decided to get two horses joining our group along with a horseguide, to leave lagguage and other heavy material on them. As we finally entered Upper Mustang and had to walk inside the Riverbed again, we took more time to reach Chele as usual. Normally you need to make the day trip in 6 hours, we searched for Salagrama Silas and took our time to see around and land into chele after 9 hours. Mainly the whole day you walk further inside the riverbed with very extreme mountain views, and the wind inside the riverbed is very very strong. I have found 10 new Salagramas only in this area after kagbeni. The whole time you can see Nilgiri and Tilicho Peak. In between you pass trough a village named "Chuksang" on a confluence of "Mustang khola" and "Narasing khola" (one of the 7 main streams of Gandaki Devi!). There we hd rest and eate lunch. A typicial village in a tibetan style, with small windows and strong walls (against the cold season)!
