Tengboche Monastery is one of the most spiritually and visually captivating highlights of the Everest Base Camp trek. Perched on a hill at 3,867 meters, this centuries-old monastery is the largest in the Khumbu region and holds deep religious significance for the local Sherpa community.
Framed by towering peaks like Ama Dablam, Everest, and Lhotse, the setting feels almost otherworldly — especially during early morning prayers when chants echo through the crisp mountain air.
Trekkers often time their arrival to witness these sacred rituals, adding a cultural layer to the physical journey.
