    Overview

    Mustang Tiji Festival Trek is one of the lifetime opportunities to indulge in the rich cultural heritage of remote and isolated regions of Nepal. Every year, people of the Mustang region celebrate this festival with great joy and pleasure with friends and family. It is celebrated as the historical moment when Dorje Jono fought and won the demonic spirits of his evil father and saved Mustang from drought. And ever since, Mustang has celebrated the Tiji festival for 300 years as a prayer for world peace. The festival is observed in March as per the Chinese Lunar calendar.

The festivity is three days long and includes many cultural performances like mask dance by monasteries monks. With that, head monks perform worship, prayers, and chants to stop the despicable spirits from the village. The monks prepare a model of the demons using common home ingredients like barley grain, honey, and yak cheese, and they burn it as a symbol of the destruction of demons. Cleric performs various types of rites and rituals. Likewise, these are interesting to observe as they hold deep meaning and denote the Mustang's cultural and traditional aspects.

      Gorgeous Views!

      Excellent trekking experience with Escape Himalaya to Kala Patthar! Everything went seamlessly, and my guide ensured we were safe and comfortable at all times, even in the high altitude. Will definitely choose EH again when I am back in Nepal for more hiking! The country is so beautiful and just has so much to offer!

      Amazing Manaslu Circuit with Phurba & Ram

      Just back from a fantastic 2 week trek around the Manaslu Circuit including Larke Pass (5100m). The weather was perfect and the views were outstanding!!

      Our guide Phurba Sherpa was excellent. Super knowledgeable and helpful at all times and always made sure we had a fantastic trip.

      Our porter, Ram Badhadur Magar was also a rockstar. He was super professional and always arrived before us every day. He was also super friendly and helpful too.

      Thanks to Phurba, Ram for always smiling and for a fantastic trip. Would highly recommend them to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal

      Everest base camp trek - Mar-Apr 2024

      My 60 year old pals set out in hope on this adventure. In late March. We had our guide Raj Kumar and two porterd Janak and Ramesh. All three were stars. We changed our schedule - no problem. I would not have made it without Raj. I cannot thank him enough. Janak often took my back pack on steep climbs where I was struggling. This is a truly majestic and spiritual trek and I would encourage using Escape Himalaya and request this team of guide and porters if you want to give yourself the best chance of finishing and making best use of your time.

    Q3. As a solo traveler, are you able to join a group for your journey?

    Certainly! As a solo traveler, you're welcome to join one of the groups organized by Escape Himalaya. We frequently arrange group treks and tours that cater to individuals traveling alone. Joining a group not only allows you to meet other travelers but also offers the opportunity to share experiences and potentially lower costs.

Among the sought-after tourist spots are Kathmandu (the capital), Pokhara, Chitwan National Park, Lumbini (the birthplace of Lord Buddha), Bhaktapur, as well as the renowned trekking regions of Annapurna, Everest, Langtang, Manaslu, and Upper Mustang.

    Q7. What is your cancellation policy?

    However, if you have paid more than the 20% deposit, the cancellation fee will be reduced to 20%, and the remaining balance will be refunded via the original payment method.

    Q8. Do we need a visa before coming to Nepal?

    Yes, most travelers need a visa to enter Nepal. However, the process for obtaining a visa depends on your nationality. You can either obtain a visa from the diplomatic consulate office of Nepal in your respective country or apply for an “On Arrival” visa at the entry checkpoints of Nepal.

    • 15 Days – 30 USD
    • 30 Days – 50 USD
    • 90 Days – 125 USD

    Indian nationals do not need to have a visa to enter Nepal however they need to bring an official document such as a Passport or Election card (issued by the Election Commission) that proves their identity.

    Q9. Which one is better: Group or Solo (private) trek?

    Escape Himalaya offers both group and solo trek to Everest Base Camp. However, to choose to join which tour style completely depends upon the traveler itself.

    If you are happy to meet people from other parts of the world and join in an experience of a lifetime with fellow travelers, then going for a group trek is also best.

    However, if you prefer freedom and flexibility, trekking solo (private) will give you the independence to set your own pace and choose your itinerary. You will have the flexibility to make spontaneous decisions. You will not be bound by a group schedule and choose to lead your journey as you wish and even modify the plan if needed.
