Khumjung’s elevation sits at 12,434 feet and is about an hour hike above Namche Bazaar. It is surrounded by views of some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest, Ama Dablam and Thamserku. The group also hiked up Kala Patthar, 18,1920 feet in elevation, where one has the best viewing point of Mount Everest and other towering 8000 meter peaks, and hiked up to Everest Base Camp.
