      Tiji Celebration with LHN

      I wanted to do a short festival trek which I needed to accommodate our limited time in Nepal through Luxury Holidays Nepal. The company was extremely helpful and responsive from the start, all the way through the completion of our trek and the last couple of days back in Kathmandu. They were waiting at the airport until I arrived and moved toward the hotel rooms in luxurious cars. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, and helpful while trekking in the upper mustang of lo-Manthang the experience of the Tiji festivals of Tibetan people. We view the cultural people and enjoy the festivals of their tradition and rituals which were followed from the ancient period which makes the trip so memorable and a fabulous time with the LHN team.
