Part of the project 'Wall Painting Conservation in the Avalokitesvara Temple and Revival of the Heritage Path in Wanla' by Achi Association India, co-funded by the Cultural Preservation Program of the German Foreign Office

The historic heritage path allows visitors and pilgrims a thoughtful and spiritual approach of the monumental and sacred area of the Avalokiteshvara Temple and the fortress' remains. But since a number of years, the foot path has been less and less used, partially because portions of it were buried under a landslide caused by the construction of a new road, and partially because visitors now drive up in their vehicles. Nevertheless, the path is part of the ancient circumambulation route and the traditional way to approach the temple.

A part of the pathway was repaired and a new water channel was built next to the upper Chörten group, the so- called Harip Chörten group. Minor repairs had to be done at the Kagan Chörten and emergency repairs at some of the adjacent chörten.
Extensive research and documentation of all structures was carried out and will serve as basis for further conservation and restoration planning.
