The highlight of the trek is the breathtaking panoramic views of some of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, from Tengboche Monastery. The trek offers a unique cultural experience with visits to Sherpa villages, and monasteries, and interaction with the local people.
