ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF
To make your experience truly unique align your trek with the spectacular Mani Rimdu Festival. The trek to Tengboche is a trip in itself (see our Everest View Trek). Wandering through mountainside paths this trek leads you through the heart of the Khumbu region, to Namche, a bustling alpine village nestled into the mountainside. Khumbu is home to the mighty Sherpa people, their hospitality and kind-hearted nature unparalleled. Enjoy spectacular views of the highest point on earth, Everest, from Tengboche. Over 30 monks reside here at the highest monastery in Nepal. It is one of the most important religious Buddhist sites for the Sherpa people and hundreds gather here for the auspicious Mani Rimdu Festival. Immerse yourself in Buddhism during a 3-day stay at Tengboche for the Festival. Learn about the significance of this celebration to the Sherpa people.

About the Festival
This auspicious festival is celebrated by the Tibetan and Sherpa Lamas (Monks) and locals. It is a 19 day affair that culminates in a three day public celebration of empowerment. Mani Rimdu is the colourful and powerful reenactment of a legend - the establishment of Buddhism in Tibet by the Great Saint Padmasambhava (Guru Rimpoche). The re-creation of this legend is conveyed through ongoing rituals of dance and music to offer the Buddhist teachings in a way that all will understand. Through Chham (the masked dance of the Monks) and Pujas (rituals) positive forces clash with negative and through the chaos the demons are conquered. Pujas are performed around the clock and mantras (‘Om Ah Hung Rhi, Om Mani Padme Hung’) are chanted over and over to consecrate the Mani Rilwu Pills (sacred pills), the Tshereel (pills for long life) and the Torma. Lamas take days of meticulous concentration and compassionate meditation to create The Mandala, made from coloured sand that is lain grain by grain. The mandala emanates this compassion to bless all those who worship at the Mani Rimdu Festival.

The sacred pills and the pills for long life are given to those who attend The Wong (The Empowerment) - the opening public ceremony held on the 10th month in the Tibetan lunar calendar - the full moon.

OUR VISION:
The creation of Yak Tracks was inspired by the need to return visitors, travellers, adventurers and trekkers to Nepal after the Earthquake of April 2015. Our aim is to provide long-term solutions to the Nepalese people affected by the recent earthquake by helping to bring tourism back to the Himalayas. Nepal was devastated by the earthquake and many people are still struggling without a livelihood. There is now a greater need for tourists to travel to this beautiful country than ever before. Nearly half a million Nepalese are dependent on income from visitors.
