From the middle of the village take the piste on the right, in the dip of the bend where a small yellow sign points left to the monastery. Upstream take the third piste left, marked by a yellow arrow nailed to a tree slightly below, then right at the next junction, parking at the cattle enclosure. Downstream drive through Kokoti until the road turns to piste and leave the shuttle car at the ford.
