Trek Pathways

Namche Bazaar to Tengboche Trek Overview

The journey begins from Namche Bazaar (3,440 m), the main trading hub of the Khumbu region. After leaving Namche, the trail follows a relatively flat path with stunning views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.

Along the way, you will pass through small villages like Kyangjuma and Sanasa, where trekkers often stop for tea or a short rest. The trail then descends to Phunki Tenga (3,250 m), located beside the Dudh Koshi River.

From Phunki Tenga, the trek becomes more challenging with a steep uphill climb through beautiful rhododendron and pine forests. After a few hours of ascent, you will finally reach Tengboche (3,860 m).
