Finding Peace on Your Mount Everest summit Journey
The monasteries along the Everest trekking route are more than just buildings; they are the spiritual anchors for the Sherpa people and every Mount Everest expedition passing through the region.
Tengboche Monastery offers a direct view of the Mount Everest summit. Every morning, the sound of the horns (Dungchen) signals a call to prayer that echoes across the Mount Everest expedition camps.
Pangboche is the oldest monastery in the region. It is the place where Sherpas traditionally go for their final blessing before attempting the Mount Everest summit. It feels ancient, quiet, and profoundly powerful.
When visiting these sacred sites during your Everest trekking adventure, always walk clockwise and leave a small donation. This supports the monks who pray for the safety of all Mount Everest expedition members.
The monasteries remind us that the quest for the Mount Everest summit is also a spiritual one. Take time to sit in silence and find your inner peace during the expedition.
