Buddhism and Mt Everest view trek

Buddhism and Mt Everest view trek

Nepal


Majestic Tengboche Monastery has a breathtaking view of Ama Dablam Mountain. 'Ama Dablam' means 'Mother's necklace'; the long ridges on each side are like the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child, and the hanging glacier is thought of as the Dablam, which is the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by 'Sherpa women'. Tengboche Monastery is one of the most famous monasteries in Nepal, probably because of its unrivalled backdrop of Mount Ama Dablam. Tengboche Monastery is the leading Buddhist Centre in the Khumbu. The monastery is perched on a high ridge across the canyon from Khunde. This Buddhist monastery was burnt down in 1989 and rebuilt with a more solid structure. Pines, azaleas and colorful mountain rhododendrons surround the attractive Gompa (monastery)which rests amid stunning views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.
