Due to its incomparable view of Mt. Ama Dablam at the back, Tengboche Monastery is one of Nepal’s most well-known monasteries, located at the highest altitude around the world. Tengboche monastery known as Dawa Choling Gompa is the largest and most important Buddhist center in the Khumbu region, with a live Rinpoche who blesses pilgrims, mountaineers, and visitors who pass through. After Namche, the most common night stop in Tengboche is perched on a hill across Imja Khola.  The monastery is located across the valley from Khunde, on a high ridge.  Tengboche is the 3,870-meter altitude above sea level, pretty top between rims of the forest and its facade with Ama Dablam. The Monastery was built in 1916 AD by Lama Gulu on-site hilltop of confluence Dudh Koshi Rivers.

The trek takes you through alpine forests and remarkable settlements, as well as along the glacier-fed Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers, to Namche Bazaar, a market town that brings to mind red-cheeked Sherpa youngsters and generations of mountain expeditions from all over the world. The gateway of Sagarmatha National Park, which is home to the elusive snow leopard and red panda, is Namche. The World Wildlife Fund has designated this area as part of its Sacred Himalayan Landscape initiative.

With all of this natural beauty, it’s simple to see why the region’s largest monastery was established here. People have always been drawn to this location because of its natural and spiritual attractiveness. Our trip begins with a flight into Lukla. Then it’s on to Namche Bazaar, the world’s Sherpa capital, and the Tengboche Monastery. Trekkers might decide for a day journey to Khumjung’s remote Sherpa hamlet, where Sir Edmund Hillary constructed the area’s first school. It’s also ideal for trekkers who don’t have time for lengthier treks or who don’t want to go at much higher elevations.
