Khumbupasanglahmu-04: Mount Everest
Built around a Sherpa farming settlement, Khumjung grew into one of the principal villages of Nepal’s Khumbu region. It occupies a broad Himalayan valley beneath the high ridges of the Mahalangur Himal, the range that includes Mount Everest. At 8,848.86 metres, Everest is Earth’s highest mountain and stands on the Nepal–Tibet border. Khumjung is closely associated with Sir Edmund Hillary, whose Himalayan Trust established the village school in 1961. Its monastery is also known for preserving an object traditionally identified as a Yeti scalp. Terraced fields, stone-built houses and Buddhist traditions distinguish the settlement from nearby Namche Bazaar. Khumjung remains part of the Sherpa homeland, where farming, herding and mountaineering tourism intersect.

Koshi Province extends from the Himalayan frontier with Tibet to Nepal’s lowland border with India, encompassing snowbound summits, densely settled middle hills and the Terai plains. The Koshi river system drains much of this eastern province, while Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga rank among its defining high-mountain landmarks. Ilam’s tea-growing hills give the region an important agricultural identity, and Rai and Limbu communities sustain languages, music and traditions rooted in eastern Nepal. Biratnagar links these varied landscapes with industry and trade on the southern plains. Discover how Koshi Province connects with eastern Nepal by browsing webcams nearby.

Nepal combines Himalayan highlands with subtropical plains in a way that reflects its position between India and China. The country is defined by the Himalaya, including Mount Everest on its northern frontier, while the Terai stretches across the south along the Indian border. The Kathmandu Valley brings together the capital, Kathmandu, and historic cities such as Patan and Bhaktapur, where Newar artistic traditions are visible in temples, courtyards and woodcarving. Lumbini, in southern Nepal, is revered as the birthplace of the Buddha. Trekking routes, river valleys and busy market towns reveal how sharply terrain and daily life can change over short distances.
