The surrounding journey passes through dry valleys, settlements and monasteries. Lo Manthang is an important focus, while the route there offers a wider view of the region's landscape and cultural life.
Plan for the festival dates
Festival dates, access requirements and local arrangements need to be confirmed for the year you intend to travel. Trekking and overland journeys offer different ways to explore; both require time for travel and changing conditions.
Tell the team whether the festival is the main purpose of your visit, and how much time you have. Your quotation can then set out the proposed route, accommodation, permits and services.
