Description of the tour

Tour itinerary: Kathmandu

Experience the Mani Rimdu Festival, a sacred celebration held at Tengboche, Thame, and Chiwong Monasteries in Solukhumbu, Nepal. Witness a series of events of empowerment and join in the public celebration that concludes the festival.

Lasting for 12 days, the festival concludes in a three-day public celebration. Sherpas come together to participate in this festival alongside the monastic community. During the festival, Lamas and Sherpa gather at the monastery for five days for the welfare of the world. Watch as demons are conquered and the virtuous are rewarded. See the monks wear elaborate masks and costumes and through a series of ritualistic Lama dances, dramatize the triumph of Buddhism over Bon. On the first day of the festival, watch as prayers are held. On the second day, see the colorful lama dancing, as they wear brocade gowns and wonderfully painted papier-mâché masks.
