A jeep able track runs along the W bank of the Miyar for 7km, then becomes too rough for vehicles after crossing a bridge to the East side which continues as a pedestrian trail up the broader valley. At Chamrat the camp site is reached 5oom before the village, on left side of the path.

Follow the good path through the wide pleasant valley, ascending gently beside fields where the local people plough with the help of Churu, a hybrid of cow and yak. Karpat (3072m), at the junction of Phabang (Karpat) Nala and Miyar, is reached after 8km; Phabrang Peak (6172m) towers to the SE (the base of this mountain can be reached from here in a day or two). A little higher the trail crosses the Miyar Nala to the NW side and passing through the small villages of Churpat and Changut arrives at Urgus, a typical Lahauli village with a small gompa. Small room for overnight in the gompa complex.
