Near the bustling town of Manigango at an altitude of 3960 m. Despite its"wild west"ambience, in the grassland to the south, there is an active hermitage affiliated to Dzogchen Monastery, known as Yazer Gon, and, in town, opposite the bus stand, there is a small Mani Lhakhang. Manigango is now a fast developing township, with medical facilities, schools, a small hotel, guesthouses, shops and restaurants. Some 23 km east of Manigango, a motorable road leaves the Kandze highway and the Yi chu valley, via a side bridge and heads north to Yilhun township. Here, inAugust, there is a small but interesting horse festival, held on a wide plain below the local monastery and village.
