Tengboche is one of the most beautiful and peaceful villages in the Everest region of Nepal. Located at around 3,860 meters (12,664 ft), it is a special stop for almost every trekker on the way to Everest Base Camp, Everest Three Passes Trek, and Gokyo Lakes Trek. Tengboche is not only famous for its incredible views of the Himalayas but also for the Tengboche Monastery, the largest and most important monastery in the Khumbu region.
When you trek with Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, Tengboche is always included in the itinerary because it is a highlight for both culture and scenery. The village is surrounded by the world’s highest peaks like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku, making it one of the most photographed places in Nepal.
The Tengboche Monastery, also called Dawa Choling Gompa, is the main attraction here. It is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery and an important spiritual center for the Sherpa people. The monastery was first built in 1916 but has been rebuilt several times after earthquakes and fire.
Every day, monks perform morning and evening prayers. Trekkers are welcome to join and listen to the chanting, drums, and horns. This is a peaceful and emotional moment, where you can feel the real spirit of the Himalayas. The monastery also hosts the famous Mani Rimdu Festival in October–November, when monks perform colorful dances, blessings, and rituals. Many trekkers plan their journey with Nature Heaven Treks during this time to witness this unique Himalayan culture.
From Tengboche, you can enjoy one of the best panoramic views in the Everest region. The star attraction is the pyramid-shaped Ama Dablam, often called the “Matterhorn of the Himalayas.” Alongside Ama Dablam, you will see Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Kangtega, and Thamserku all in one frame. Early morning and sunset are the best times for photography, and many trekkers say Tengboche is where they saw the most magical view of their journey.
For trekkers who want a perfect spot for photos and relaxation, our guides from Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition will always recommend spending extra time here.
Although Tengboche is a small village, it has tea houses, lodges, and bakeries for trekkers. The famous Tengboche Bakery is a great place to enjoy coffee, cakes, and snacks with a mountain view. Accommodation is simple but comfortable, with warm dining halls and basic rooms.
There is no ATM here, so trekkers should carry enough Nepali rupees from Namche Bazaar. Electricity and internet are available but may cost extra. Our team at Nature Heaven Treks always makes sure you are well-prepared before reaching Tengboche.
With Nature Heaven Treks, you can choose different trekking packages that include Tengboche depending on your time, budget, and fitness.
The best time is Spring (March–May) and Autumn (September–November). In spring, rhododendrons bloom around the village, adding bright red and pink colors to the green forest and white mountains. In autumn, skies are clear and weather is perfect for trekking and festivals. Winter (December–February) is cold, and Monsoon (June–August) brings rain and cloud, but trekking is still possible with the right guidance from our professional team.
