Kharikhola is a village at about 2,010 m on the lower trail from Solu and Jiri towards Lukla. Terraced fields, a monastery and Rai and Sherpa families make it a pleasant stop away from the busy upper trail.
Quick answer: Kharikhola is a night on the walk-in to Everest; from here the trail climbs through Puiyan and Surke towards Lukla.
