Khumjung Edmund Hillary School is located inside the Sagarmatha National Park in the Khumjung valley. A monastery in the name of Khumjung, and then a Khunde hospital in this village was also built to honor Edmund Hillary which is now providing free of cost treatment to the Sherpa’s.

There are only 500 households in this village. The Khumjung Edmund Hillary School was constructed in 1961 by the Himalayan trust. It is named after Edmund Hillary who is the first person that successfully surmounted the Everest mountain. The school was comprised of only one classroom at the time of its construction but now it has been expanded and the children of local sherpa’s study in it till 10th grade. Students turnout of the Khumjung Edmund Hillary School till this day is only 400 which is a small figure. Edmund Hillary was from New Zealand and conquered the highest mountain in 1953. He came again and again to Everest to start many projects. Before the summit of this peak, Khumjung was a poor region but afterward, with the arrival of tourists, masses have found business activity and the area started developing with the collaboration of Himalayan trust.
