Khangsar Village
खाङसार
An ancient stone-house village on the way to Tilicho Lake, preserving traditional Tibetan life, with Tare Monastery nearby.
Khangsar is a small village about a 1.5-hour walk west of Manang, at an altitude of about 3,750 m. Its stone houses are closely packed, with rustic wooden doors and windows, and it sees far fewer visitors than Manang, preserving a more authentic Tibetan village character. Tare Monastery (Tare Gompa) on the hillside behind the village overlooks the valley. Khangsar is the first stop on the way to Tilicho Lake. Guesthouses are simple but serve hot meals, making it a good place to spend the night and ease the altitude gain.
