We merged with a group of 5 officials staying in the same hotel for tomorrow's mystical tour. Kagbeni is a village in Upper Mustang, Nepal, located in the valley of the Kali Gandaki River. It lies on the border to Upper Mustang. Kagbeni is just a few hours walk north of Jomsom. It took us about half an hour or so on a jeep.

The place was so magical and intriguing. If you have watched the movie & Kagbeni by Bhusan Dahal, you would know. The movie is made on 1902 horror short story ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ by W. W. Jacob which I read it from my aunty's book when I was little, the same aunty I am travelling with.

The houses in general were traditional flat mud roof, with wood piled up on top of the roof for cooking/heating. On our way, I didn't pay much attention to elderly talk inside although interesting. I was so very mesmerized with the views. We saw caves cut into the mountainsides and cliffs. Also, Chortens, pagoda-style structures which were built to memorialize the teachings of Buddha. We saw a herd of sheep crossing over a very long suspension bridge. It was out the world, so beautiful. Where else on earth you get to see things like this?
