We come from Chitkul and make a pit stop to see the Nako lake in the Hangreng valley.

The elderly are doing their bhajan.

The way to Nako lake is through the Nako village.

Their bhajan ends, and they head back to the villages. Along the way, the elderly greet us with “Juley” (which means hello in their native tongue).

There’s a beautiful Nako monastery overseeing the valley views.
