The pathway on Google Maps.
After visiting the monastery of Tengboche, the journey continues down the valley to the village of Pangboche, a small village with pastures and little farms. Along the steep path you meet porters and yaks until you reach the village of Shomare where you can stop for lunch, a lunch with rice and vegetables. After Shomare, we are at an altitude of 4000 meters and the woods give way to a landscape of pebbles and stones up to reach the village of Dingboche 4410 m. A travel stretch between climbs and descents at the base of Mount Ama Dablam.
