“Mustang Tiji Festival Jeep Tour incorporates the experience of century old Tiji Festival celebrated the Buddhist Tibetan Community in the land beyond the Himalayas while taking the Journey in a 4WD land cruiser driving through various narrow ridges, barren landscapes and mind-blowing mountain views.”
Tiji festival in Lo-manthang is celebrated according to the Tibetan calendar. Upcoming Tiji festival 2022 dates are announced and will celebrate from 27th 2022 to 29th May 2022.
Highlights of the Mustang Tiji Festival Trek:
Tiji Festival is purification ritual that takes place at the beginning of every harvest season. The history of Tiji Festival goes many centuries back, but is embellished by myths and legends rather than recorded facts. The word Tiji originates from the word “Ten Che” which means “hope of Buddhism prevailing in the world for peace” and basically celebrates the triumph of God over demon. The 3 days ritual is celebrated by various kinds of dancing ceremonies in order to chase the devil away. It stands on the mythological story of Lo Manthang. Many centuries back a boy named Dorje Jono fights against his demonic father who creates havoc in the Mustang by creating water shortage, a very scarce resource in the region. Ultimately Jono defeats the demon and banishes him away from the arid land.
