The Tiji festival is a three-day ritual known as "The chasing of the Demons" and it is centered on the Tiji myth. Tiji tells the story of a deity named Dorje Jono who must battle against his demon father to save the Kingdom of Mustang from destruction. The demon father wreaks havoc on Mustang by creating a water shortage which, in this extremely arid land, is the most precious life-sustaining resource. Dorje Jono eventually defeats the demon and banishes him from the land. 06 May 2013: Lo-Manthang Day hiking (3730m) (Start Tiji Festival) 07 May 2013: Lo-Manthang (3730m) - Tiji Festival 08 May 2013: Lo- Manthang (3730m) - Tiji Festival Ends
