Khumbutse (Chinese: 坤布崎峰; pinyin: Kūnbùzī Fēng) is the first mountain west (6 km) of Mount Everest. It lies at the border between Nepal and China.
Khumbutse's name indicates its location at the head of the Khumbu valley, down which the Khumbu Glacier flows. It is one of the prominent mountains above the southern Everest Base Camp, and is seen in many views from the nearby trekking routes, including at Gorak Shep.
