Phakding is a small village in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It lies in the Dudh Kosi river valley just north of Lukla and south of Monjo, at an altitude of 2,610 m.[1][2][3] It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Phakding has a population of 550 locals, mostly Sherpa and Tamang. All of these people belong to Tibetan Buddhism and pray in a small Gompa at the centre of the village. [4]

The trail starts at Lukla and Phakding is often the main stopping point for trekkers on their way to Mount Everest via the Gokyo Ri route or Tengboche route.[2]

The primary function of the village is to support the tourism industry and as such consists of a number of guesthouses.[2] There are around 25 hotels ranging from basic homestay to 4-start Luxury hotels in Phakding. The village can accommodate a maximum of 300 tourists at one time.
