Festivels in Everest

Everest Mani Rimdu is one of the most fascinating High Himalayan Buddhist festivals observed every year, usually in November (date fixed by lunar calendar) in Tengboche monastery. It is an old Buddhist monastery located on a ridge top. Mani Rimdu is a colorful festival. The mani rimdu festival depicts the victory of Buddhism over the ancient Bon religion. The monks with elaborate masks and costumes perform series of ritualistic dances. We organize trekking specially for Mani Rimdu festival. For this trekking you take mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. After you get down at Lukla airstrip you trekking starts to Phakding, the first overnight place, following Dudha Koshi River. Next day you walk through forest of rhododendron and magnolia and arrive to Namche, a bustling bazaar (market), that’s a junction for trekkers. You stay one more extra day at Namche for acclimatization. On that day you hike to Syangboche, one of the major spot for the view of Mt.
