After leaving the glacier, we follow the advice of Sander, Michel and Sandra and walk to Yubeng via Xidang. The trekking path rises into a mountain and you walk along a ridge, looking down at the Mekong River and the villages below.
We ran out of water several hours into the walk and are euphoric when we arrive at the village at the base of the mountain. From the village, it’s only a short walk to Xidang village where we spend the night.
