Dughla is a small hamlet in Solukhumbu District in the Himalayas of Nepal, to the south of Khumbu Glacier. The settlement, consisting of several huts, is located at an elevation of {{convert|4620|m|ft}},{{cite book |last=Bezruchka |first=Stephen |title=A guide to trekking in Nepal |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=x18TAQAAIAAJ |access-date=13 May 2012 |year=1985 |publisher=Mountaineers |isbn=978-0-89886-094-8 |page=218}} 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 elevation than Dughla. The village lies in an elevated position above and to the northeast of the lake, obscured from views of the lake by a rocky precipice. There is also a glacial lake Tshola Tsho, and Cho La Pass is nearby.
