The current monastery is constructed with stone masonry.
The courtyard and storerooms are large to facilitate the monks' religious rites and activities.
The main building has the mandatory Dokhang, the prayer hall, where a large statue of Shakyamuni Buddha is deified.
The statue extends to two floors of the monastery and encompasses the Ser sang lha khang, the first floor shrine room.
Sakyamuni Buddha is flanked by Manjushri, the deity of wisdom and Maitreya and of the future Buddha.
The scriptures of the Kangyur, the original teachings of the Buddha translated into Tibetan are part of the sanctum.

The rebuilt monastery is a large and impressive structure with a camping area in its front and a number of lodges.
Tengboche is surrounded by ancient mani stones (flat stones inscribed with the mantra "Om Mane Padme Hum", prayer flags flying atop the high peaks (flags are flown in colours denoting the five Buddhist elements: earth, wind, fire, water and consciousness).


Although the original paintings of the monastery were dated to the 14th century, according to Fuerer Haimendorf, the present set of paintings was produced in the 20th century.
The mural paintings, Thangka paintings and sculptural collections, according to the art critic Tucci are: 
motifs of differing origin and baroque exuberance of workmanship are underlined by a certain heaviness of design and concern not to leave any space unfilled

Tucci further elaborates on the exaggerated depictions in Tibetan art forms: 
Even the shape of the Tibetan utensils and furniture is overblown.
The bulging teapots, rather short necked with their high domed lids have none of the lightness of the Persian or Chinese ones.

Nunnery
Vajrayana Buddhism does not restrict its teachings of Buddhism to male or female.
In fact, during the initial years of establishing the Tengboche Monastery, nuns studied and practiced Buddhism here.
However, over the years, when the nuns wanted an exclusive place of their own to live and pray, the Lama Gulu, head of the monastery granted them land in a small valley known as Devoche.
The nunnery was then established at Devoche, a short walk from the Tengboche.
This small nunnery, administered by the Tengboche, is called Devoche or Debuche Nunnery (Ani).
It is at an elevation of 3,800 metres (12,500 ft).
It was built amidst rhododendron and juniper forests.
At one time, fifteen nuns resided here, but now only nine old nuns live in this place in poverty stricken conditions.
Many nuns have even left to pursue studies in Kathmandu and India.

Other monasteries
In the nearby villages, there are many other chortens, small monasteries and hermitages including those at Pangboche, Thame, Lawdo, Khumjung and Kunde.

Further improvements
Even though the monastery was rebuilt after the fire, there was lack of many facilities such as reliable and safe drinking water, electricity and so forth.
A 'Master Plan' was prepared by specialists, funds collected and projects launched, which have resulted in developing a water supply system that is providing clean drinking water to Tengboche (even during the coldest months), a micro hydropower station that provides assured electricity, establishment of sacred land for high altitude medicinal herb plantation close to the monastery, an Eco-Centre to promote sustainable tourism, better toilets and accommodation for porters, income generating schemes to sustain the local population and most importantly establishing schools for better education facilities to local people.
