Tengboche Monastery, Nepal

On the slopes of the Himalayas, enroute to Mt. Everest is the Tengboche monastery.  This sacred place is a gorgeous riot of colour painted almost everywhere with scenes from Buddhist mythology. 

Naturally for the area around Everest, the monastery is in a spectacular setting with Mt. Ama Dablam looming just behind it.  Visitors come here to savor the peace, receive blessings and marvel at the architecture before resuming the arduous trek to Everest.
