Your day starts early in the morning for a long day drive to Kagbeni in the mountains. The drive will go past beautiful towns along the route. You will drive along the highway to Beni and start driving off-road to Marpha. The stretch of about 152 kilometers on the highway and off-road today will take us more or less 8 hours to cover. Although it is a long-distance drive, the scenery it brings to us is simply spectacular to make our drive fun. Marpha, along the bank of the Kali Gandaki River, will also prove to be a relaxing oasis to stay overnight after driving for long hours.

Today, you will drive to Charang village through Ghami, Dhakmar, and Ghar Gomba, the oldest Buddhist monastery in Mustang. After breakfast at Syangboche, you drive over the Nyi La (3,950m). The path descends gradually towards the Ghami La pass, and on the way, we see a rundown Ghami village surrounded by the field, Nepal's longest Mani wall, and partial red cliffs of Dhakmar. Afternoon, Ghami, you will drive to Dhakmar (red clip village) next to the longest Mani Wall. Then continue to Ghar Gomba, the main attraction of the day. You will have lunch here and then drive to Charang. Afternoon will be a time to visit Charang Monastery and the old fort of Mustang King.

Today, you are heading to the eastern part of Upper Mustang, where you will pay a visit to Luri Gompa. The road from Charang to Yara first came to the River Bank Tea shop, which was used for truck drivers to spend the night after a long drive from Pokhara. And from that spot the road goes in the left direction. You will enjoy the beautiful canyon and rock formations that surround the trail. When you reach the bridge just before the Dhee village, the valley widens up, and you see Surkhang village on your right side. The views are more rewarding and interesting than the western part of the Mustang. After a few minutes of gentle climbing, you will reach Yara. Yara is warmer than Upper Mustang. From Yara, it is a short drive to Ghara. After having your lunch in Ghara, you will visit Luri Gompa by drive.

The afternoon will be the opening ceremony of the Tiji Festival.
