Khumjung (Nepali: खुम्जुंग) is a village in Khumbu Pasanglhamu rural municipality of Solukhumbu District in Province No. 1 of north-eastern Nepal. It is located in the Khumbu sub-region inside Sagarmatha National Park, a world heritage site. The village lies at an elevation of 3,790 metres above sea level, near Mount Khumbila.
A monastery in Khumjung has a purported Yeti scalp. This village has modern communications such as the Internet and mobile and landline phones.
The village is the seat of ward no. 4, which include Kunde, Khumjung, Tengboche (Tyangboche), Pangboche, Pheriche, Dole, Chharchung, Machhermo, Lobuche, Dingboche, and Gokyo. As of 2011, it had a population of 1,912 people living in 551 individual households.[1]
Khumjung school was built by Sir Edmund Hillary's Himalayan Trust in 1961. The school began with two classrooms but now caters to pre-school, primary and secondary sections with over 350 students.[2]
