Part 5/14:
Leaving Everest behind, we head towards Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the Khumbu region. Located at an altitude of 3,867 meters (12,687 feet), this monastery is an important center for Tibetan Buddhism. Established in 1916, Tengboche not only provides spiritual insights but also stunning views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The monastery hosts the annual Mani Rimdu Festival, featuring colorful rituals and dances that celebrate the triumph of Buddhism over the ancient Bon religion.
