This amazing cave that is situated in Chhoser, two hours walk from Lo-manthang Upper Mustang is truly an amazing cave. This cave holds a very ancient story. The Shija Jhong Cave is open for all national and international tourists.
Story behind the Shija Jhong Cave:
The male people living in that place used to go for their daily work to different places. Their wives, children and mostly the female family members used to stay back home. Since, the China border is near to Chhoser, the Chinese armies used to come to that place and used to rape the girls, kill them and steal their belongings. This became a major problem for all the people living in Chhoser and nearby villages. So all the people started living in this Shija Jhong cave and whenever the Chinese men entered the cave, the villagers used to cut their head off and kill them.
Then after the Chinese armies weren't able to go inside the cave which those armies had cut off the water supply that was going to the cave were the people were living inside. The villagers had to face water scarcity. Soon after the scarcity, an elderly women had an idea. She had lots of oil in stock and started to wash her hair with the oil she had. The Chinese armies that were looking from a far place thought it was water instead of oil and decided to leave the villagers alone thinking that cave itself had plenty of water and they wouldn't come out. |
