Trip Description


The grand Buddhist festival - Tiji is held on Upper Mustang at the beginning of spring. Tiji is derived from two Tibetan words “Ten” and “Che”, which refer to “Hopes of Dharma reigning in all worlds”. Guru Rinpoche all-around Mustang spread this precious message over thousand years ago.  The festival is celebrated by Lo - people of a Mustang that signifies the victory of good over evil. It is also celebrated to hunt demons out of Mustang performing various traditional rituals.
