Yarthung - the festival of horse race

 YARTHUNG-THE FESTIVAL OF HORSE RACE

 Yarthung is an annual horse festival that takes place over four days in July to August before harvest. The young men of the village dressed in traditional (chuba) race their horses on a flat stretch of land below the upper village, cheered on by all the spectators. After the races and trotting displays are finished the young women ride with the men to a cave above the village where they gather and pray at the stupa. 

Sad to say but these days Gorkhalis have been rulling over Manang..Thugh the population of our people are decreasing each and every day but our Tradition and culture is still alive and people here celebrate every festival together happily. Yurtung Festival ( Horse Race)..which is celebrated every year in Manang.People from every corner of village gather at Cherkyung.Everyone shows there own talent and skills of riding Horses. I request every neyshangs to show some love towards their village and do visit motherland atleast once.THANK YOU.- Kanta Gurung
