Mani Rimdu Festival Trek
Mani Rimdu Festival Trek offers to observe the most popular festival in the Everest Region. Sherpa people celebrate it in Tengboche Monastery, Thame, and Chiwang Monasteries in the Khumbu region. On this festival trek, you can fully enjoy seeing the incredible Everest Himalayan panorama. As an illustration, Tengboche monastery with a great view of Mt Everest, 8848 m. This trek offers the opportunity to observe the culture and festivals of the Himalayan region in Nepal.
The Mani Rimdu Festival is a sacred ceremony and a series of events of empowerment. It is a sequence of nineteen days of celebration, which concludes with three days of the public festival. They get time to gather and celebrate this festival with the monastic community. Lamas and Sherpas gather at the monastery for five days for the welfare of the world.
Furthermore, demons are quelled, and the virtuous are rewarded. The monks wear elaborate masks and costumes and, through a series of ritualistic Lama dances, dramatize the triumph of Buddhism over Bon. Likewise, the first days of the festival involve prayers. Second day for Colorful Lama Dancing. In addition, they wear brocade gowns and wonderfully painted papier-mâché masks. The last day is for some humorous dances and chanting prayers. On the other hand, hundreds of local people and foreign tourists attend the performance.

If you have a few more days after and before the Mani Rimdu Festival Trek, you can continue your journey to the Everest Base Camp Trek.
