The Tiji Festival Trek is one of the most culturally enriching and spiritually rewarding treks in Nepal. Held annually in the ancient walled city of Lo-Manthang, this sacred Buddhist festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil with vibrant mask dances, ritual chants, and centuries-old traditions. The Tiji Festival 2026 will take place from May 14 to 16, making it the perfect time to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime Upper Mustang Trek.
Located in the rain-shadow of the Himalayas near the Tibetan border, Upper Mustang is a restricted region known for its stark desert landscapes, mysterious caves, and preserved Tibetan culture. The trek begins with scenic drives or flights to Jomsom and passes through historic villages like Kagbeni, Samar, Ghami, and Charang before reaching the festival site in Lo-Manthang.
The Tiji Festival Trek is not just a physical journey but a deep dive into Himalayan spirituality, ancient Buddhist traditions, and remote mountain life. It offers a rare opportunity to witness an authentic cultural event in one of the most exclusive trekking destinations in Nepal.
