Here, our stress-free week of trekking allows us to experience the unparalleled mountain scenery of the Khumbu, including the classic view of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam and Lhotse, and several others.  The following days trekking will bring you to the village of Tengboche (3860m), home to the highest Buddhist monastery in the world that is also well known among photographers as one of the best places to capture the splendid beauty of Mt. Everest (8848m) and its adjoining peaks.
