Fascinating Upper Mustang Jeep Tour: A Glimpse into the Tiji Festival

The Tiji festival is a major highlight of Mustang. Held annually in May, with possible shifts in dates due to the lunar calendar, this festival is held for three days where the locals celebrate the triumph of good over evil. The celebration featuring colorful costumes, and fascinating masks is accompanied by thudding sounds of the drums, horns, and prayer chantings.

The origin of the celebration dates back around 500 years and is a commemoration of the reincarnation of Buddha as Dorje Sonam and his triumph over evil. You will find a large mass amassed at the Choede Monastery where the amazing dance ritual is performed for three days. Tiji Festival is celebrated across three days with each day carrying its own significance. On the first day, you will witness a dance recital depicting the story of the demons who created havoc in Mustang. To battle the demons, Dorje Sonam takes birth, represented by the loud crashing of cymbals, blowing of horns, and chants.

On the second day, Dojee Sonam tries to chase the demons away through dance, meditation, and swaying of the sword. The third day shows his triumph. This is represented by the Rha Chham dance. During this procession, Dorjee Sonam, accompanied by the villagers, banishes the devils beyond the walls of the village.

Enjoy a hearty bonfire alongside the villagers to end the three-day festival. The Tiji festival gathers the locals of Mustang into a communal celebration. As age-old practices are still prevalent during this festival, this marks the handing down of lineage brought down from ancient Tibet.

Best Time for the Upper Mustang Jeep Tour

The best time for the Upper Mustang Jeep tour is during the spring months of March to May and the autumn months of September to November. In spring, the weather is pleasant with mild temperatures. The visibility is stretched far and wide giving you amazing views of the Mustang landscapes, and the surrounding peaks. A jeep tour to Upper Mustang in spring presents you with comfortable travel and stunning views.

Spring is also the time when the Tiji festival is held. Tiji festival is a Buddhist celebration where locals portray the roles of demons and Dorje Sonam to commemorate the defeat of evil. If you consult with Orbit Alpine Adventure, we can suggest the ideal date for you to witness and participate in the festival.

Likewise, autumn also has similar temperatures to spring. You will find excellent views of the Himalayan peaks and the arid Mustang landscape. In autumn, you can witness local villagers harvesting crops. Ask to join the local farmers to experience their traditional way of life.

Winter months from December to February, and Monsoon from June to August could be better for a jeep tour to Mustang. In winter, expect cold temperatures and potential snowfall, making the road conditions challenging. Likewise, monsoons are not ideal for road travel in Nepal. There is a high chance of landslides that can disrupt travel plans.

However, global warming has caused the Himalayas to experience a rapid shift in climates. It is best to consult with the experts at Orbit Alpine Adventure to book the best time for an enjoyable jeep tour of Upper Mustang.

Upper Mustang Jeep Tour Safety

The Upper Mustang Jeep tour is a unique mix of cultural immersion and adventure. You will experience the remote, yet culturally rich region of Nepal on a 12-day Upper Mustang Jeep tour. However, to ensure utmost safety, you need to keep a few things in consideration.

Also, Mustang is a restricted area. Make sure you are carrying your special permit to access Mustang. Adhering to local regulations and customs is crucial for a respectful and hassle-free journey.

Lo-Manthang is an ancient kingdom shrouded by unique culture, tradition, and lifestyle with heavy Tibetan-Buddhism influences. The best time to visit the north-side capital of Mustang would be during the Tiji Festival where a 3-day festival marking the triumph of good over evil is celebrated. The festival gathers the locals from all over Mustang together into a display of magnificent colors, thudding music, powerful chants, and an extravagant celebration.

If you can’t make it during the Tiji Festival, there are still plenty of things to see in Mustang. The Chhosar Caves are among the most talked about architectures of this region. Dating back to over 2000 to 3000 years, these pre-historic caves are known for the vast collection of paintings depicting the life of the Buddha, Buddhist relics, sculptures, and manuscripts. Archeologists have also dug up partially mummified human remains, and skeletons from the site.

You can also witness the unique sky burial ritual around the villages surrounding Chhosar. During this procession, the body of the dead is left on the hilltop for the vultures to prey on. Sky burial is a spiritual practice of giving back to the world among the Tibetan-Buddhism communities of Mustang.

During the Lo-Manthang excursion, you can further explore the breathtaking landscapes, Tibetan-Buddhist heritage, arts, and architecture, and immerse into the ancient lifestyle of the locals untouched by the modern changes.

Spending a day in Lo-Manthang may not be sufficient to learn about the extensive culture, lifestyle, and traditions of the region. Therefore, we recommend spending a few more days thereby customizing your Upper Mustang Jeep tour package. For a tailor-made Upper Mustang Jeep tour itinerary, contact our representative and we can work on creating a tour package that fits your preferences.

On the way to Jomsom, you will take a detour to Muktinath. Muktinath is revered by both the Hindu and Buddhist communities.

According to Hindu mythology, this is where Lord Bishnu got salvation from the curse of Brinda. Therefore, people from Nepal and India visit this religious shrine to bathe in its 108 water sprouts which is believed to break the cycle of birth and death, granting moksha to the devotees. You will also find the Jwala Mai Temple inside Muktinath. Dedicated to the goddess of fire, the eternal flame in the Jwala Mai Temple adds mystery to the spiritual allure of the temple.

After a spiritual cleansing at Muktinath, you will get back on the route to Jomsom. On the way, you can relish the stunning scenery, including panoramic views of the Nilgiri Himal, and Dhaulagiri range. You can also explore the local Jomsom market and buy edibles made from apples.

After the excursion to Sarankot, we can visit the Mountain Museum which houses mountaineering-related relics, equipment, and cultural attire of people living in different mountainous regions of Nepal. The museum premises are also popular for a plethora of butterflies.

Next, we head to Davis Fall. The Davis Falls or Patale Chango is a beautiful waterfall that is famous for its unique underground tunnel, where the water disappears into the Seti Gorge before resurfacing. This fall is named after a Swiss woman who tragically drowned in its waters in 1961.

Today is your final day in Nepal. Enjoy the allure of the beautiful city one last time before you leave for your next destination.
