Khumjung is a village in the Khumbu district of Nepal. Its largest claim to fame is as the location of the Khumjung Monastery, which indeed holds the scalp of what is reputed to be a yeti. The relic has been analysed and concluded to be the skin of a serow, a Himalayan goat-like antelope-like creature. Which is weird enough in itself.

As for the haircut, Buddhist monks generally shave their heads, though not quite that close.
