In the interest of speeding this little episode along, the padre takes your donation with a small bow and a word of thanks, and then gives you directions. The main street continues beyond the church for about another half mile before you are well and truly at the edge of Bara Gairo, he says. From there, though, there's a well-marked and clear trail that heads further into the woods. When you get to a large dead tree that's split in two and fallen over right next to the trail, you turn off on a smaller "game trail" and head a few hundred yards to the Old Man's tower.
