The Takla Makan Desert constitutes one of the largest moving bodies of sand in the world. Stretching west from the ancient Silk Road trading center of Kashgar to the mysterious desert of Lop in the East, it's dunes conceal the ruins of numerous ancient civilizations.

Before the road/rail transportation linking with the outside world to the hinterland Sichuan Basin rounded by mountains and high plateaus became possible by the 1950s, the valley with rapid currents was one of the very few ways for people to get in and out from Sichuan. Old Chinese idiom said: If you want to travel in Sichuan, it's even harder than going to the heaven.  In order to help the Yangtze navigation (by wooden junks) up the rapids, plank roads, or tow-paths, were cut-in sheer cliffs on one or both sides of the Yangtze form Qin Dynasty (1888 AD). They were built for men pulling up the boats against with bamboo ropes. During the II World War , when the KMT Government moved into Chong qing now  from Nan jing and Wuhan, factories, schools, refugees came along the planks up to Chongqing or other places in Sichuan.  After the Yangtze navigation powered by diesel, the planks were much less used. Only the telephone wires inspections or herdsmen came along the bush-growing road occasionally. Trekkingrs found these planks as the enjoyable way to experience the Yangtze Gorges, differs from any other means of transport.

The northern section
　The trail climbs steadily from the monastery following the Niwagu River upstream. A large latse bedecked with mantra-engraved stones and colourful prayer-flags is passed before the low pass of Drado Wangchuk La. Atrail of syepper gradient then ascends the high Drakdo Latse Chogon pass(4,328m), close to the glaciers. The walk from the monastery to this pass takes 8 hours. A ridge above the pass leads towards the glaciers and the icy Tso Karpo (white lake), otherwise known as Drodu Nyaka(4,600m). Slightly below the pass, on the south side, there is a field of protuberant glaciers, known as Rigar Tongjung. Golok camper groups are to be found in this vicinity in summertime. The view of the main peaks of the range is genuinely impressive from this vantage point. The highest of the 14 peak forming the range are Dradul Lungshok(6,154m), the northernmost peak, which lies close to the trail across the Rigar Tongjung glacier field. The next peak is the dome shaped Mt. Amnye Machen itself(6,282m), followed by the pyramid—shaped Mt. Chenrezig(6,127m), down the valley, towards Chuwarna. Descending from the pass through the Zhideka valley, after three hours, the side valley of the Yekhok-chu joins the circuit from the north. The trail then descends through flower-carpeted grassland to the junction of the Halong-chu valley, which leads north-west towards the Amnye Machen Base Camp(4,600m). Gazell can be seen in three parts, and there is a sky burial terrace. Deep within the Halong—chu valley near the rock of Phawang Serka and Phawang Hekar, there is the Terdak Phawang Drubzhi rock, containing the treasures of King Gesar, the warrior king Tibetan epic poetry, who is said to have hidden his sword here, piedging one day to retreve it. Eaven closer to the mountain are teh SerTso(golden lake) and Ngon Tso(blue lake).

The eastern section
　   From the Halong—chu valley junction the Chorten Karpo at Chuwarna(Ch Xueshan) village it is an easy six hour terk. Here, the Yonkhok—chu(ChQiemuqu) flows from the south—weast to jion the Tekhok-chu thereby forming the Tshab—chu which flows east into the Yellow River. At Chuwarna(Ch Xueshan) village there are small shop and a motorable track. Adjacent to the Chorten Karpo os a large wall, known as Gonying Mani Lhartse, inscribed with the mantra of the meditational deity Vajrakila. Traditionally, this is the starting point of the circuit for many pilgrims. Follow the mortor road for 4 hours from Chorten Karpo, passing several nomad houses set among sparse juniper woods in the hills around. At Tselnak Chamdo, a motor road leaves the circuit, and cuts south—esat for 116km to Tawo(Machen), the capital of the Golok region. Prayer—flags and stone cairns bedeck the trail and the trees anlong this section of trail.

The southern section
　Continuing on to the south—west sector of the pilgrims circuit, the trail passes the entrance to the Halong Langri—chu valley, which leads north towards the Base Camp, and then gradually ascends the Yonkhok—chu valley, to enentually reach the Tamchok  Gongkha la pass after some 7 hours. Tour broad saddle of the stretches for a further ten Kilometres(3 hours). In summer this area is a carpet of wild flowers set against the imposing snow peaks and many nomads establish camps here. After the saddle one comes to a curious rock formation in the middle of the valley called Mowatowa, which houses several meditation caves, including that of the great Nyingmapa meditation master Zhabkar Tsokdruk Rangdrol(1781-1851). The variegated cliffs of Goku Chenmo are said to mark the entrance to the palace of the protector, Machen Pomra. Some 4 hour later, the trail reaches the Dolma Gur-chu spring, which demarcates the final part of the circuit Rather than follow the Qushian River, the path heads over a sper, where Ling Gesar tied his horse, and then descends back down to Guri Gonpa, about 5 hours away.
