The Everest base camp trek

Part 5: Tengboche


The view seen from Tengboch (elev. 3700) is awesome. Even with out going to Kalla Patar, this is one of the most rewarding sports in the trek.

Tengboche is an important spiritual center. It has a monastery (gompa) which holds daily prayers.

The entrance to the monastery. Photographing inside is forbidden.
