Tengboche Monastery Trek

Hello fellow trekkers! When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, our team will be there to greet you. We’ll then take a short drive to the hotel.

Today, we’ll explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley. We’ll visit Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Temple, and the Pashupatinath Temple. These places are filled with art, culture, and history, showcasing the rich heritage of the Kathmandu Valley. After our sightseeing tour, you can prepare for the trek and get ready for the adventure ahead. You’ll spend the night at a hotel in Kathmandu.

We wake up early and catch a 35-minute flight to Lukla, enjoying stunning views of the Himalayas in the Everest region from the plane. Once we land in Lukla, our trek begins towards Phakding. The trail takes us through several villages and ancient monasteries along the Dudh Koshi River. We’ll spend the night in Phakding.

From Phakding, we trek to Monjo, which is north of Phakding and serves as the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park. The trail passes through the park, reaching Jorsalle and eventually Namche. Along the way, we’ll experience the beauty of Sagarmatha National Park, with its alpine forests, streams, small rivers, and lush jungles. We’ll spend the night in Namche Bazaar.

Namche is a wonderful place to enjoy nature. The views here are stunning and captivating. You can visit the Syangboche Airstrip for a panoramic view of Namche and the Himalayas. A bit further from Namche is the Everest View Hotel, which is the highest hotel and offers amazing views of Mount Everest and other peaks.

In Namche itself, you can explore the Everest Photo Gallery and the Sherpa Culture Museum. We’ll spend the night in Namche Bazaar.

We continue our trek alongside the Dudh Koshi River until we reach Kyangjuma. From there, we descend to the river and cross a bridge to Phunki Tenga. Then, the trail gets a bit tougher as we hike for about two and a half hours to reach Tengboche.

At Tengboche, we explore the Tengboche Monastery, which is very important to the Sherpas. It offers a beautiful view of Mount Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, and Thamserku. We’ll spend the night in Tengboche.

Today, we go back the way we came, passing through Namche Bazaar on our way to Monjo. We’ll enjoy the beautiful mountain views along the journey. Sometimes, we’ll encounter other trekkers and mules on the trail. Eventually, we’ll arrive in Monjo, which is the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park. We’ll spend the night in Monjo.

Today is the final day of our trek, and it’s a short one, lasting around 4-5 hours. We’ll follow the Dudh Koshi River, walking mostly uphill and downhill, until we reach Lukla. Along the way, we’ll pass through countryside and villages like Phakding and Ghat. We’ll spend the night in Lukla.

As we fly back to Kathmandu, we’ll soak in the breathtaking views of the Himalayas from the airplane. Once we land in Kathmandu, you have the rest of the day to relax at the hotel or explore the city, which is influenced by the Newar culture. There are plenty of places to visit in the city, so feel free to choose what interests you. We’ll spend the night at a hotel in Kathmandu.

Today is a free day just in case our flight from Lukla gets delayed or canceled due to bad weather, which can happen sometimes. This is beyond our control, so it’s good to have a backup plan. In the evening, we’ll have a farewell dinner to celebrate the success of our trek. We’ll spend the night at a hotel in Kathmandu.
