Mar 8 - Mar 11, 2026 | Change
The village of Tengboche is home to one of the most important Buddhist monasteries in the Khumbu. It is the spiritual heart of the Khumbu and is also blessed with spectacular mountain views. From Tengboche the peaks of Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku are all visible.
March is the start of the ‘Spring Season’ when temperatures begin to rise from their winter lows. By the end of March, temperatures are significantly warmer at lower elevations and hot air from the valleys tend to create clouds in the mountains during the afternoons. Mornings are generally clear, with the clearest weather coming just after sunrise. At high altitudes, while generally warmer than the previous months snow is still possible, and heavy snow storms in March are not unheard of. Mornings and nights are still cold.
