Himalayan Festival Tour In Upper Mustang:
Religion plays a central role in the life of Upper Mustang¡¦s people. Festivals like Loshar (Tibetan New Year, Jan/Feb), Saga Lugka rites for timely rains and a good harvest, Feb/March or Duk Chu (monks¡¦ dance and prayers for a prosperous next year, Nov/Dec) structure the passing seasons. On various occasions, Lamas are called to perform rites in individual houses. The custom and mask dances of the famous three-days Tenji festival takes place in front of the King¡¦s Palace in April/May and on a more modest scale inside Chhodhe Gompa in May/June. They are meant to bring prosperity to Lo Tsho Dhun and the entire world.

Day 3 ¡V 25: Main Ethnological Tour
The climate and geography of Upper Mustang are nearly identical to those of Western Tibet, and, as such, they are dramatically different from the temperate and tropical areas of the south side of the Himalayas. The dry, wind-swept ecology of this Trans-Himalayan region is extremely fragile. Fuel wood is virtually non-existent, water is scarce, the agriculture land fields in sufficient food grains, and the marginal, arid grasslands support only limited numbers of livestock and wildlife.
