Nestled high in the Himalayas of Manang, Khangsar Village lies quietly within Ngisyang Rural Municipality–8, framed by the majestic Tilicho Peak in the background. This ancient settlement, formed by the coming together of five smaller villages, stands as one of the main stopovers on the route to the pristine Tilicho Lake — one of the world’s highest alpine lakes.
Khangsar’s traditional stone houses, fluttering prayer flags, and centuries-old monasteries tell stories of resilience and faith amid the harsh mountain terrain. The people here, mostly of Gurung and Tibetan heritage, have preserved their customs, language, and hospitality through generations.
Trekkers to Tilicho Lake often rest in Khangsar to experience authentic mountain life, taste local barley-based dishes, and witness the spiritual calm of the Himalayas. As dawn breaks, golden rays bathe Tilicho Peak, and the entire village glows with a timeless charm — reminding every traveler that Khangsar is not just a stop on a trail, but a living piece of Himalayan heritage.
