About Khumjung Village

Khumjung is one of the most charming and largest Sherpa settlements in the Khumbu region. Nestled beneath the sacred peak of Khumbila and within view of Ama Dablam and Everest, the village offers a deep cultural experience. It is home to the famous Khumjung Monastery, known for preserving a relic said to be a yeti scalp, as well as the Edmund Hillary School, founded by Sir Edmund Hillary himself. Trekkers often stop here while acclimatizing on their way to Everest Base Camp, or while exploring alternative cultural trekking routes. Though beautiful and historically significant, Khumjung is still a remote village, and getting back to Kathmandu by foot or air can be tiring and uncertain especially during high trekking seasons or bad weather.

Alternative Option: Khumjung to Lukla Helicopter and Lukla to Kathmandu by Airlines

For travelers looking for a more budget friendly option, we also offer a short helicopter flight from Khumjung to Lukla. This takes about 7–10 minutes. From Lukla, you can board a regular airplane to Kathmandu (weather permitting). However, Lukla flights are frequently disrupted, so a direct helicopter flight remains the most dependable and time saving route back to the capital.
