Manigango
马尼干戈
A key crossroads on the northern Sichuan–Tibet route, where roads branch off to Xinlu Lake, Dzogchen Monastery and Shiqu. The Tibetan-style town offers supplies and accommodation.
Manigango Town lies in eastern Derge County at about 3,800 metres above sea level. It is the junction of the G317 national highway and the roads leading to Shiqu and Dzogchen, and it has long been a trading post on northern Kham. The town has Tibetan-style guesthouses, restaurants and a petrol station, making it an important supply point for self-drive trips on the northern Sichuan–Tibet route. In summer, horse racing festivals are often held on the surrounding grasslands. Xinlu Lake is about 10 km from here, and Dzogchen Monastery about 50 km, so it is a good base for sights in eastern Derge.
