On June 15, the marchers walked 27 kilometers from Askote to Gungatoli. They spent the night at the town’s Junior School.
A close relative to the King of Askote, Mahinder Singh Pal, gave a royal lunch to the marchers. One of the marchers, 74 year old Tenpa, and Virender Singh Pal, 75 year old brother of the King, recognized each other from a meeting 49 years ago. They met in 1959 when Tenpa fled Tibet into exile in India. The reunion was an emotional moment for both men.
Today the marchers walked 17 kilometers to Gothi. Their campsite is only 6 kilometers outside of Dharchula.
