Mani Rimdu festival is one of the most fascinating High Himalayan Buddhist festivals celebrated every year, usually in November (date fixed by the lunar calendar) in the Tengboche monastery. It is an old Buddhist monastery located on a ridgetop. Mani Rimdu is a colorful festival that depicts the victory of Buddhism over the ancient Bon religion.
Mani Rimdu festivals another attraction is monks with elaborate masks and costumes performing a series of ritualistic dances. We organize trekking, especially for the Mani Rimdu festival. For this trekking, you have to take a mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. After you land at Lukla airstrip your trekking starts in Phakding, the first overnight place, following the Dudh Koshi River. The next day you walk through the forest of rhododendron and magnolia and arrive at Namche, a bustling bazaar (market), that’s a junction for trekkers, the gateway of the Everest base camp trek
You stay one more extra day at Namche for acclimatization. On that day you hike to Syangboche, one of the major spots for the view of Mount. Everest, Mount Lhotse, Mount Amadablam, Mount Thamserku, Mount Kwangde, etc. Then you walk down to Khumjung village, a typical Sherpa village, and overnight stay at a mountain lodge in Namche Bazaar. The next day you trek to Tyangboche. You stay in Tyangboche for four nights for the Mani Rimdu festival. During those days you observe the Mani Rimdu festival. Then on the 10th day you back from Tengboche and follow the same previous route to Lukla.

Up to a maximum of 5-6 hours a day with lunch breaks along the trail. The maximum

Nepal is absolutely safe country to travel. Our staffs do take every precaution to ensure the
comfort and safety of the trekkers. Before 2006 when Maoist movement was going on,
there was a kind of fear in few trekking destinations. But today they have also come to
peaceful political stream. So there is no more any fear and need to give donation for any
party.

the person you should go to with all problems, concerns and questions. He is well trained in
