Dingboche is a Sherpa village at an elevation of {{cvt|4410|m}} in the Khumbu region of northeastern Nepal. Its population was estimated at approximately 200 in 2011.
Transport
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.Shrestha, Vinos Prasad; “Concise Geography of Nepal”; (2007); Mandal Publications; {{ISBN|978-99946-55-04-5}}.
Climate
Dingboche has a Tundra climate (Köppen classification ET). It has cool and rainy summers and dry and cold winters, affected mainly by its altitude and by monsoon in the summer. For those interested in trekking, spring (March and April) and autumn (October and November) are the ideal times because the visibility of the mountains is ideal and the temperature is not too cold. During the winter it is possible to trek, but the vast majority of places of accommodation are closed and the cold is intense, rarely above freezing point.
