In my spirit the Ranchung Monastery- Chungsi cave is a very important monastery in Mustang, its isolation could preserve the ancient culture. Many Buddhist devotees visit this cave to worship and meditation from around the world. Many travel trekkers well-known there is a walking trail easy find from Samar to Syangboche but worst to visit this natural cave and better make the overnight in Syangboche, naturally trek to Chungsi Cave trail is not easy lots up and down elevation.
