KOKHETHANTI - Rest Spot

  • 2,520 meters

The 'thanti' at the end of this village signifies that you have now left the cultural sphere of the Thakalis of lower Mustang and are now entering the cultural spheres of the Magars. In Magar language 'thanti' means a rest spot for travelers and Kokhethanti is indeed little more than that. While it must have seen some traffic when trekkers would end their walk in Beni, the handful of lodges there now see no traffic at all thanks to the motor road.
