Divided in 1 Municipality ( SoluDudhkunda) and 7 gaunpalikas ( Rural Municipalities), the district hasits headquarters in Salleri and counts a superficy of 3312km2 and a population of 106,000 .
The district ‘s extremely varied geography can be divided into three areas :
Khumbu Himal ( Highland Mountains)

Khumbu Region ( Highland Valleys)

Solu is not beneficiating yet from the revenues of tourism such as Khumbu does, but has developed some interesting agriculture.
