Return to the hotel for breakfast before departing for Namtunkoo Lisu village, located west of Putao on the crossroads to Mt. Lancrumadin (20 km, approx 5 hours). Walk through a cultivation field, past small villages and farmland. After about an hour of walking on flat land, you will be surrounded by lush tropical evergreen forests.

After about 3 hours of trekking uphill, you will reach the shoulder of the Namhtun mountain range, from which the path descends all the way. Lancrumadin Mountain, which stands at 11530 feet (3495 meters) and faces the Indian border, can be seen to the west. After lunch, continue trekking for another hour through the farmland to the village.
