	Khumbu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Khumbu is one of three subregions of the main Sherpa settlement of the Himalaya, the other two being Solu and Pharak.
		Khumbu is located in northeastern Nepal and includes the town of Namche Bazaar as well as the villages of Thami, Khumjung, Pangboche and Kunde.
		Due to its location in the Himalaya, the Khumbu's elevation ranges from 3,400 metres (11,000') all the way to the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest at 8,850m (29,035').

		The region of Pharak, at 2,400 to 2,700 meters (8,000 to 9,000 feet), flanks the gorge of the Dudh Kosi, and to the southwest of this and at a generally lower altitude is the Solu region.
		Khumbu is famous throughout the world on account of the stories brought back by the Everest climbers and others of that mythical animal the "yeti" - called "the abominable snowman" by Europeans and now generally considered to be a species of bear.
		This is the highest birch wood in Khumbu and the last tree growth in the valley.

		Khumbu is somewhat protected from the worst extremes by a surrounding wall of mountainous ridges.
		Thus, Khumbu has a relatively low snowfall though avalanches are still a hazard and people and livestock are sometimes lost to storms.
		Most of Khumbu is high alpine country, an area of ice, alpine tundra and lichen.

	Sherpas of Khumbu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Most of Khumbu consists of high-altitude rock, ice, and snow, and less than a fifth of 1 percent of it can be farmed, but other land is suitable for pasture, water is plentiful, and wood is- or at least would have been 450 years ago-plentiful.
		In Khumbu these Sherpa newcomers eventually established a routine of transhumance-farming the fields around their sturdy permanent houses and seasonally following their herds-to less substantial shelters in higher pastures in summer and to lower ones in winter.
		The Khumbu sherpas acquired a monopoly on this trade when the government of Nepal under the Rana regime prohibited the lowland sherpas from trading further north than Namche Bazaar and Tibetan traders from trading further south.

		The ALCF Khumbu Climbing School is a vocational school for high-altitude workers; a project which translates to safer trips for all who ascend the mountains.
		Despite being well known for their stamina and ability to carry heavy loads in the thin air of the Himalaya, they generally lack the years of training that western climbers have.
		The goal of the Khumbu Climbing School (KCS) is to lower the injury and fatality rate among the climbers (Nepali) who work and climb in the high Himalaya.

		As 'Kids of Khumbu' reveals, Sherpa youth is in a time of tremendous social upheaval, and their much loved, and lucrative, Sherpa stereotype is under siege.
		Kids of Khumbu: Sherpa Youth on the Modernity Trails' was written as a study for Eco Himal, an Austria-Nepal development co-operative.
