The Khumbu region, located in northeastern Nepal, is home to approximately 3,000 to 4,000 residents, primarily consisting of the Sherpa community. This area is well-known for its stunning landscapes, including Mount Everest, and serves as a gateway for trekkers and climbers. The population can fluctuate due to tourism and seasonal migration, as many locals engage in trekking-related activities.

The most dangerous section of Mount Everest is climbing through the Khumbu Icefall. Here there are blocks of ice the size of a house waiting to fall down. A crevasse can be as deep as the length of a football pitch and as wide as a house or ten feet deep and 4 foot wide, whatever the size it can be deadly.
You can die anywhere on Mount Everest but the real dangerous spot is the Khumbu Icefall.
On the South side (Nepal) of Mount Everest there is the Khumbu Icefall which runs from Camp 1 to Base Camp.
Krakauer describes Khumbu as a region that has been significantly impacted by the influx of tourists and climbers, leading to increased economic opportunities but also environmental degradation and cultural erosion. He notes a growing wealth disparity between those benefitting from tourism and the traditional Sherpa community, as well as concerns about the sustainability of the region's development.
