Tengboche Monastery

Incredibly scenic, would have been a great place to stop for a night as well!

Beautiful peaceful and silent but it is very high it needs a lot of effort to reach this place but it’s worth the effort it will take atlest 30 minutes to visit this place and will take more than 2 hours to feel this place there is a cafe just outside This place It takes 300 Nepali rupees to visit this place it’s generally not crowded

An iconic and popular monastery when trekking on the way to Everest base camp route. If the weather is clear in good condition you will see beautiful view of Mt.Everest - Lhotse - Ama Dablam 👍/ I come back again in April 2024 so sad the weather is bad very cloudy can’t see the mountains 😫

Visited on 15th November 2024 1st day of Mani Rimdu festival. Watched monks dance with live music 🎼 played on drums long horns cymbals by them. The singing was done by head monk himself. The dance were held at a centre atrium with visitors around . The visitors were allowed to take pictures and videos. Took this opportunity to go live on YouTube and share with the world at large. The monastery is majestic and views of Everest Nuptse Ama dabalam amongst others. Being festival ticket rates were RS. 500 in place of RS. 300 Tenghboche is on route of classic Everest base camp route The festival is till 17 November

This Monastery makes the whole of Tengboche feel like I’m in the mystical Kamar Taj from Dr Strange 😄 Enjoyed my time in this spectacular monastery learning about Buddha and the ways and life of the monks living here. Being blessed and given a talisman rope that supposedly brings good luck by one of the monks was definitely the highlight of my visit!

The highly worshiped tibetan buddhist monastery on the way to Everest base camp.Scenery of the himalayan range from Tengboche is very beautiful. A bit cold & windy but a great place to take a rest or stay overnight at local lodge.Monastry needs more cleanings & plantation of local fliwers & trees.

Nestled amidst the Himalayas, Tengboche Monastery is a gorgeous Buddhist haven and religious center. Its amazing location offers breathtaking views of the majestic Himalayas, including Mt. Everest. A blend of spirituality with stunning natural beauty, it's a must-visit place in Khumbu Region.

Tengboche Monastery Situated at 3,867 metres (12,687 ft), the monastery is the largest gompa in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It was built in 1916 by Lama Gulu with strong links to its mother monastery known as the Rongbuk Monastery in Tibet. In 1934, it was destroyed by an earthquake and was subsequently rebuilt. In 1989, it was destroyed for a second time by a fire and then rebuilt with the help of volunteers and international assistance. Tengboche monastery is amidst the Sagarmatha National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site of "outstanding universal value”), draped with a panoramic view of the Himalayan Mountains, including the well-known peaks of Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. Tengboche is the terminus site of the "Sacred Sites Trail Project" of the Sagarmatha National Park that attracts large number of tourists for trekking and mountaineering. It is a circular trail that covers 10 monasteries in a clockwise direction terminating in the Tengboche Monastery. About 350 years ago, Lama Sangwa Dorje (a high priest) of Khumbu declared Tengboche to be a religious site where there would one day be an important monastery. But it wasn't until 1923, when the reincarnate of Lama Sangwa Dorje—a boy from nearby Khumjung—founded the actual monastery.
