Between Chhusang and Kagbeni is the last part of the trek around Upper Mustang, which still falls within the area to which entry permit is required. But it is quite a pleasant walk due to its height profile, however, not considering the short and steep ascent behind the settlement Tangbe. This trip can be done in half a day, so there will be a lot of time left to explore Kagbeni and its surroundings.
 

Chhusang

We leave Chhusang. Kali Gandaki river bed is here very broad. Although it does not seem at first glance, but in places where water currently flows it has relatively strong current. But water changes its position of flow from time to time.

Kagbeni

After a short steep descent is the entrance to Kagbeni. It is necessary to go through the checkpoint again. Any delay from the standard 10 days allowed for the entrance to Upper Mustang costs 50 USD for each extra day.

Streets of Kagbeni

In Kagbeni join the pathways of two treks: through Upper Mustang and around Annapurnas. In August, so in the monsoon season, there are not many tourists. And so we have the town and its streets almost to ourselves.

Children are, as everywhere, a grateful subject of photography.

Kali Gandaki river valley

We get over Kagbeni. We sit at the stone chorten and our views are heading back to the north to places, where we spent unforgettable days in Upper Mustang.

Wind

It is very windy in this part of the Mustang in the afternoon. Prayer flags flicker in the space above mustang landscape.

Spam

Shops serve here not only for local residents, but are also prepared to manage any possible interest of tourists. For western world is spam something annoying, here you can buy it in a can :-)

Beer

We end the trek around Upper Mustang. This is an opportunity for a little celebration, for example with stylish beer Everest.
