Dingboche is a Sherpa village at an elevation of 4,410 m (14,470 ft) in the Khumbu region of northeastern Nepal. Its population was estimated at approximately 200 in 2011.
Coming from Namche Bazaar or Tengboche, Dingboche is the better alternative than the village of Pheriche, in being more sunny, and less affected by the icy winds that descend through the Valley of Khumbu. There are no roads that go to the village, only trails, and with the exceptions of some agricultural products produced around the village; yaks and mules carry most of what is consumed locally.[1]
