Mani Rimdu
Festival 2010 18 days
Mani Rimdu is an important festival of Sherpa
community in Tengboche Everest. It consists of
nine days of ceremonies and meditation (Drupchen).
This is concluded by a special blessing ceremony
given by Tengboche Rinpoche to the public and
the world renowned Mask Dances performed by the
monks at Tengboche Monastery. This is the
