Tengboche Monastery Trek Overview

Tengboche Monastery Trek, or as we like to call it ‘’ Mountains and Monasteries’’, is one of Nepal’s finest short trekking holidays in the sublime region of Khumbu, Nepal. A perfect trek for those who want to experience Everest in shorter days and yet are unprepared to tackle the high altitude. Experience the panoramic views of the world’s tallest mountains, Sherpa villages, suspension bridges, Tengboche monastery, and many more in our 10-day Tengboche monastery trek. The Tengboche monastery trek gets into gear with a fantastic mountain flight to Lukla Airport. The flight time is about 35 minutes, and you can enjoy the splendid views of the mountains from your window.

Upon your arrival at Lukla, you will be met by the rest of the crew. Our porters will load your bags and gear up for the trek. Following the Dudh Khosi River, we trek to Namche Bazar via Phakding and spend two nights here for acclimatization by hiking up to the Everest View Hotel and surrounding villages. We continue our trek to Tengboche, where you can get the best view of Everest and the surrounding mountains. Visit Tengboche monastery, the largest monastery in the Everest region, and retrace our steps to Lukla the following day. The maximum elevation of our Tengboche Monastery trek is 3,860m/12,665ft at Tengboche, making this trek a perfect moderate trek in a shorter duration.

Is this trek for you?

Duration for treks of this grade stretches up to two (2) weeks. Trails generally go above 4000 meters at maximum and on a daily basis, you can expect to be walking for about 5 – 7 hours. The perfect setting of introduction to moderate & challenging trekking in Nepal. Activity level/physical rating is slightly harder than leisure and involves occasional difficult days. Expect ups and downs as well for there will be hills to climb as well and the well-known ‘Nepali flat’ – a little bit up and a little bit down.

If you are looking for a more challenging trek then have a look at our Everest Base Camp Trek or Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes

Our last day of trek following the Dudh Kosi River down to Lukla. It’s only a gradual walk along the Dudhkhosi river after our steep descent from Namche. We’ll have lunch on our way and we make the final climb up to the airstrip at Lukla. Rest of the day is free and you can relax under the warm sun & reflect on the emotional experiences we had while hiking through these massive mountains that have probably helped us re-discover ourselves in ways least expected. This is our final day on these fantastic mountains. Later we celebrate our successful completion of trek with our Sherpa guides and porters who we’ve got to know so well & are now good friends.

The Mani Rimdu festival is primarily celebrated in Tengboche Monastery during the autumn season of October and November, according to the Tibetan lunar calendar. The festival typically occurs during the 9th Tibetan month, which corresponds to the full moon in October or November.

3. How difficult is the Tengboche Monastery Trek?

The Tengboche Monastery trek is generally considered moderately difficult. However, it is suitable for trekkers with a general fitness level who are comfortable with moderate elevation gains. Still, the high elevation, rugged terrain, steep ascents and descents, and unpredictable weather add to the trek’s difficulty.

4. Are the Everest View Trek and the Tengboche Monastery Trek the same?

Yes, the Everest View trek and the Tengboche monastery trek are somewhat the same. Both treks reach an elevation of 3,860m at Tengboche. Likewise, both treks take 8-10 days to complete and are popular for short yet rewarding journeys.

5. What is the daily routine of monks at Tengboche Monastery?

The monks at Tengboche Monastery follow a structured daily routine that includes prayer, meditation, and community service. The day begins with morning prayer and meditation, often followed by scripture chanting. Then, each monk meditates, reads, and studies individually. Then, worship is performed throughout the day.

6. Are photography and videography allowed inside the monastery?

No, photography and videography are not permitted inside the monastery due to religious beliefs and respect for sacred spaces. However, you can take plenty of pictures outside the monastery, including its architecture, exterior design, wooden carvings, and prayer wheels.

7. Are there any ATMs or money exchange facilities near Tengboche?

There aren’t any ATMs or money exchange facilities near Tengboche. The last destination where you can find facilities is Namche Bazaar, which is quite far from Tengboche, taking 6-7 hours to walk. Thus, we recommend that trekkers withdraw or exchange money at Namche.

8. How do you prepare physically for the Tengboche Monastery Trek?

While the trek doesn’t demand a high fitness level, preparing beforehand is a pulse point. Thus, trekkers should prepare physically for the Tengboche Monastery Trek by engaging in cardiovascular, strength, and endurance training. Likewise, trekkers should be encouraged to walk if possible, making it easier during the trek.

9. What etiquette should trekkers follow when entering the monastery of Tengboche?

Trekkers should observe certain etiquette when entering the monastery of Tengboche, including dressing modestly, avoiding revealing clothing, refraining from touching monks or religious objects, maintaining silence, and removing shoes before entering the monastery. Likewise, trekkers should respect the local culture while entering the monastery.

10. How long should I stay in the Tengboche monastery to witness the beauty of the area and the monastery?

Generally, spending two nights is recommended to fully experience and witness the beauty of the area and the monastery. This allows oneself ample time to explore the monastery, enjoy the views, and acclimatize to the altitude. However, the peaceful ambiance of a monastery makes trekkers feel inclined to stay for a longer time.

Eating a proper diet is crucial for a successful trek in the Himalayas, including the one to the Tengboche Monastery.

Tea houses are the common accommodation point along the trek to Tengboche Monastery. However, trekkers will stay in a three-star hotel in Kathmandu. While you have a vast option to choose from when it comes to accommodation in Kathmandu, the options are limited on the trekking trail of Tengboche. Still, due to the trek not reaching much higher elevation, trekkers can enjoy good amenities during their stay at an accommodation point on the Tengboche trek.

The tea houses along the Everest region are simple yet comfortable and run by local Sherpa families. One of the most memorable aspects of staying in the tea house is the hospitality provided by the owner. The accommodation point has a twin-sharing bed and a small table. Likewise, a simple mattress, pillow, and blanket are essential components of a bed. Similarly, the bathroom is Western-style and shared among the guests. In addition, the accommodation point offers Wi-Fi, charging, and a hot shower facility, but costs extra.

The Tengboche area faces four distinct seasons, and the weather and Temperature vary significantly depending on the time of the year.

Well-Planned and Memorable Trek with Outstanding Care

It’s been a while since I travelled to Tengboche with these guys in December 2019, but felt I need to give them the glowing review they so deserve, from the…

At 3,867m/12,687 ft, Tengboche Monastery is a significant pilgrimage site in the Khumbu region of Nepal. The monastery, also known as Dawa Choling Gompa, holds great religious significance among the Sherpa communities. The monastery is located within the Sagarmatha National Park and Solukhumbu District, in the Koshi Province, in the village of Tengboche. Located en route to the iconic Everest Base Camp trail, the monastery is not only religiously significant among the Buddhist Sherpa people. Still, it has also become a major highlight of the Everest region.

Founded in 1916 by Lama Gulu, the Tengboche Monastery has become a crucial spiritual center known as the region’s largest gompa. The Lama Gulu chose the location for building the monastery due to its peaceful surroundings and stunning views of the Himalayas. The monastery’s history is also tragic, as it faced hardship in the initial phase. In 1934, a devastating earthquake damaged the monastery, and in 1989, a disastrous fire destroyed its structure and valuable religious artifacts. Despite that, the monastery was rebuilt, and today, it continues to be a place of spiritual learning in the Khumbu region.

Tengboche Monastery

Indeed, the Tengboche Monastery is the prominent attraction of the journey. The monastery is the site of the “Sacred Sites Trail Project,” which attracts a large number of tourists yearly to witness its beauty. The Tengboche monastery features classic Tibetan Buddhist architecture, complete with murals and intricate woodcarvings, making it visually attractive. Likewise, the tranquil environment of the monastery, with its prayer flags and snow-capped peaks in the surrounding landscape, makes it an ideal setting for meditation and reflection.

Sagarmatha National Park

Another major attraction of the Tengboche Monastery trek is the Sagarmatha National Park, where the trek takes place. The national park is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, taking trekkers through rhododendron forests, past wild animals, and alongside icy rivers. Likewise, from towering peaks to encounters with diverse flora and fauna, the trek in the Sagarmatha National Park zone, during the Tengboche Monastery trip, showcases the region’s natural beauty and biodiversity.

Mountain Views

Although the trek to Tengboche Monastery is not much higher in elevation, it offers trekkers a view of mountain peaks, which is a key reason to choose it over others. From the start to the end of the trek, trekkers can expect to glimpse towering peaks, adding to the thrill of the trek. Kusum Kangruru and Kongde Ri are the first mountains seen from Lukla. Likewise, from Phakding, they’ll get a first close-up view of Thamserku. Similarly, the view of Kongde Ri, Thamserku, and Kusum Kanguru surrounds the Namche Bazaar. Additionally, trekkers can witness a view of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam from the Everest View Hotel and Tengboche.

Sherpa Culture

The Sherpa culture is another aspect that draws visitors from around the world to experience the short yet rewarding Tengboche Monastery Trek. From landing at Lukla to walking through numerous villages, the journey takes trekkers through the local Sherpa villages, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the region’s rich traditions and spiritual life. While walking through the villages, trekkers get to experience the way of living and their hospitality. However, at Tengboche monastery, trekkers get a deeper understanding of the Sherpa people, their culture, beliefs, and their connection to Tibetan Buddhism, making the trek culturally enchanting.

Exploring the Everest View Hotel and Khumjung villages enables trekkers to immerse themselves more deeply in the Everest region, attracting both inbound and outbound trekkers. At 3,880m above sea level on Syangboche Hill, the Everest View Hotel offers a surreal view of Mount Everest and a chance for relaxation. Likewise, Khumjung village is one of the largest Sherpa settlements in the region and has numerous attractions.

Yes, we can combine the Tengboche monastery trek with other Everest treks. The monastery lies between the trails of iconic destinations, so combining it with others will be smooth and rewarding. However, combining the trip with other treks adds to the trek’s length and cost. Still, combining the Tengboche trek with Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes is a common option.

Tengboche Trek with EBC

The Tengboche trek with Everest Base Camp is the most popular combined trip. In fact, Tengboche serves as a popular stop point along the trek to Everest Base Camp. Thus, more than a combined trek, the Tengboche trip with EBC is an iconic Everest Base Camp trek itself. The trek continues from Tengboche to Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep before reaching Everest Base Camp, taking 2-3 days. Moreover, the distance from Tengboche monastery to Everest Base Camp is 28.6km in a single trip.

Tengboche Trek with Gokyo Lakes

Another popular combination option with the Tengboche trek is the Gokyo Lakes. Combining the trip is one of the ideal ways to experience the beauty of the Everest region within one package. The combined trek of Tengboche monastery with Gokyo generally takes 14-18 days, depending on the itinerary plan and the pace of the trekker. To combine the Gokyo Lakes trek with the Tengboche monastery trek, trekkers first get to Tengboche and then descend from there to Phortse or Dole. Afterward, trekking through the Machhermo, the trail takes you to Gokyo Valley. Another day involves hiking to Gokyo Ri and then returning.

Can we take kids on the Tengboche Monastery Trek?

Yes, you can take kids on the Tengboche monastery trek, as it is suitable for families with children and older adults. The trek is slow-paced and offers some of the majestic scenes of the Himalayas; kids can make the trip while enjoying the views and without getting sick. Likewise, the ease of accessibility of the trek, beginning with flying to Lukla and then continuing with a leisurely walk to Namche Bazaar and Tengboche village, makes it an excellent experience for kids.

Also, the trek to Tengboche Monastery offers a stunning view of the top of the mountains and a variety of landscapes, which will be visually captivating for children. Similarly, the trek offers children a chance to encounter other cultures in other countries, thereby enhancing their personal development. Additionally, the trek’s itinerary is customizable and flexible, which helps to accommodate the needs of families with children.

You need a Sagarmatha National Park Permit and a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entry Permit for the Tengboche Monastery trek. The permits required for the Everest Base Camp trek and the Trengboche trek are the same, so trekkers who change their mind about combining the two can adjust their itinerary schedule immediately. Additionally, the trek takes place within the territory of Sagarmatha National Park; therefore, a Sagarmatha National Park Permit is required. Each trek in the region requires a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entry Permit, which is a substitute for a TIMS card.

Known as a prominent cultural hub of the Everest region, the Tengboche Monastery trek is famous for its religious significance and location, which offers an astonishing view of some of the world’s most famous mountain peaks. Due to its location between the mountain peaks, the Tengboche Monastery is one of the iconic stopover points in the Khumbu region and on the way to Everest Base Camp.

The views from Tengboche Monastery are nothing but breathtaking. The view of Mount Everest (8,848m) is definitely the best scenery from the monastery. Likewise, Mount Ama Dablam (6,812m) is equally appealing from the monastery. Similarly, the fourth-highest mountain peaks, Lhotse (8,516m), Thamserku (6,608m), and Kangtega (6,782m), are jaw-dropping from the Tengboche Monastery. Besides the mountain sights, the location offers a view of lush forested valleys, the Dudh Koshi river winding through the valley, monasteries’ ambiance, prayer wheels and architecture, and traditional Sherpa villages.
