Interesting facts about this location
Dughla
Dughla is a glacial lake, small hamlet and mountain pass in Solukhumbu District in the Himalayas of Nepal, to the south of Khumbu Glacier. The settlement, consisting of several huts, is located at an altitude of 15075 ft (4593 metres), making it one of the highest settlements in the world, but likely not permanently inhabited all year around as it is essentially a collection of huts catering to hikers. Gokyo to the northwest is a little higher in altitude than Dughla.
