It’s one of the region largest functioning monasteries. We will be passing the steep roads at Samar and luckily we go down to the hill.

 Today we will make up our mind to return ride from Gheling to Kagbeni, 2800m. On the way, we will try to catch up the memories calmly which were missed before. We’ll be ending up the day in the charming town Kagbeni, the gateway to Upper Mustang.

 After warm breakfast, we will set up to ride from Kagbeni to Tatopani, 1300m where the taste of the cold beer and a dip in the hot springs again awaits, after a long day avoiding buses, pilgrims, hikers and pot-holes. Today will be a much chilled day. Overnight stay will be at the well-groomed guest house.

Beautiful resorts and well-managed guesthouses are the main attraction of this city. We will try to get all of the good memories of this place and make planning for the next morning.

 Now, time for the last destination ride and it is all way to Kathmandu. The way will get busier the closer we approach. Here, we will be riding recalling all the awesome memories during a ride to upper Mustang, those adventures, food, clicks, chilled bears, cultures and landscapes, mountains and many more.
