Based on the principles of fair trade and sustainable use of natural
resources, this small local company has established medicinal herb gardens in the Mt. Everest
(Sagamartha) National Park buffer zone. This raises awareness about medical plants and ensures the
ingredients for the herbal teas, incenses and medicines are pure and organic.
Using the connections, expertise and experience built up through many years work in the Solu Khumbu area the projects support small grass root activities such as providing new roofs and efficient stoves for the nuns' community under Khaybje Trulshik Rinpoche in Thupten Choling.
The Sacred Land Visitors' Center is located at Tengboche Monastery in the Mt. Everest (Sagamatha) National Park. The exhibitions in the Centre provide lots of practical information on trekking wisely and explores the links between the Buddhist culture and conservation of the mountain ecology. There is also a special exhibition on Sowa Rigpa, the art of traditional Himalayan health care and protection of the medical plants on which it relies, funded by the WWF People and Plants Initiative.
The income from sales of specially designed local products, herbal teas and incense at the Eco Centre Shop goes to support Tengboche monastery, the medical herb gardens and other related projects. We hope these products will soon be available online through this site. Check back often
From the land of the snow-covered peaks and the hidden
valleys of the Himalayas come the stirring sounds of Tibetan Buddhist ritual chants and prayers.
Nestled in the secluded Solu Khumbu region of Nepal, home to Mt. Everest these chants and rituals
are performed by the monks of Tengboche Monastery and the nuns of Thupton Chöling. Featuring the
timeless beauty of unaccompanied voices and the powerful sounds of ritual bells, drums, horns and
trumpets, these prayers invoke the blessings of wisdom and compassion. Recorded on location, these
chants offer a glimpse into the rich, ancient traditions of the inhabitants of this sacred land.
