Gokyo Ri via EBC Trek day 17

Dole to Khumjung
Decent day 2 to Khumjung village.
Khumjung is a beautiful village. There is uniformity in the structure and the colors of the houses in the village. All houses are painted white with green roofs. Also known as the capital of the Sherpas in Solukhumbu district, the village is mostly inhabited by the Sherpas. Life in the Khumjung village is rural. People spend most of their time working in their fields. They harvest potatoes during the October which is the major trekking season in Khumjung. The prayer flags, the Mani walls and the white chortens in the village give a clear idea about the prevalence of the Buddhism in the village.
Khumjung village offers the visitors to experience the remote village life of Sherpas in the lap of mountain which is situated 85 miles away from the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu. Despite of being a rural mountain village of Nepal, the village provides you with the facilities of internet, mobile phones,and the landlines to enhance your communication. We will have a village tour tomorrow.
