Mani Rimdu, a 18-day series of sacred ceremonies concluding in a public festival lasting for three days is a point of attraction for tourists all over the world. As the feast falls in autumn, the best season to trek in the pristine mountains and Himalayas of Nepal, one can enjoy and experience Mani Rimdu along with his/her trek package in Nepal. Mani Rimdu is an opportunity for Sherpas and Tibetans to assemble and celebrate together with the Lamas, monks and monasteries.
Mani Rimdu is celebrated after full moon of October, November, and December in Tengboche, Chiwong and Thame monasteries. Mani Rimdu in Nepal is not a too ancient festival. It is a recent development and started only when Zatul Ngawang Tenzin Norbu of Rongbuk came to sanctify the monastery of Tengboche. It was the first time that monks performed the dance here. It then became an annual ritual, but was moved forward by a month to avoid the cold and dull weather. Although, the original practice of Mani Rimdu was small, addition of the dances originated from tantras made it elaborated and stretched to go many days.
