As you walk, you will pass through scenic landscapes and small villages. Keep an eye out for local signage or ask locals for directions to Lhuntse, as they will be familiar with your destination. After about 13 kilometers, you should see a signpost indicating the turn towards Gangzur Village, which is approximately 5 kilometers away. Take this path, and follow it until you arrive at Gangzur Village.
