The myth of a son saving a region from the bad deeds of his evil father is celebrated on this festival. You all deserve to enjoy life, and one of the best options for your wish is the Tiji Festival trek.

Tiji Festival and Yartung Festival are celebrated in the Mustang district. Having a 3 days celebration time, Most of the peoples make mistakes by saying that Tiji Festival is Yartung Festival. As mentioned earlier Tiji Festival is a three-day celebration during the time before the harvest season starts. With dance celebration, chanting mantras, and wearing traditional attires Tiji Festival is quite a festival. However, Yartung Festival is another important festival celebrated in all parts of Mustang Region especially in Muktinath and Lo Manthang. This one, too, is a three-day-long festivity. The difference that makes Yartung Festival unique, though, is that horse racing, drinking, and dancing are mainstays of the celebration. Yartung means end of summer, and Mela means festival, so Yartung Mela is all about celebrating the good life they lived in summer and welcoming the future with great enthusiasm. Whatever differences may exist between the Tiji and Yartung Festival, both are highly enthusiastically and cooperatively celebrated. Hence, they must be preserved. They are the very sorcerers of commonness and togetherness.

Besides the exploration of the Himalayas and exciting trails in Mustang, participate in the Tiji Festival celebration with locals. It adds intensity to the Tiji Festival celebration you are into, with a vibrant scene of the Himalayas behind.
