Weather in Tengboche

About Tengboche

At 3,867 metres, this ancient monastery balances between two of the Himalayas' most iconic peaks—Everest dominates the horizon while Ama Dablam's needle-sharp summit rises to the south. Monks chant in candlelit halls while trekkers gather at sunset to watch the peaks ignite in alpenglow. This is where spirituality meets climbing ambition.
