The Journey

From Lukla to Namche Bazaar

The trek commences in Lukla, following the Dudh Koshi River’s bank and passing through the Sagarmatha National Park en route to Namche Bazaar. Namche serves as the main trading hub in the Everest region and is a popular acclimatization stop for trekkers.

Note:

Essential Information on Lukla Flights

Seasonal Flight Adjustments

Due to air traffic congestion in Kathmandu, domestic flights to Lukla are diverted to Ramechhap Airport during the peak trekking months of March, April, May, October, and November. If you’re planning your trip during these months, be prepared for a 4-5 hour drive from Kathmandu to Manthali Airport in the Ramechhap district to board your flight to Lukla. For the remaining months (January, February, June, July, August, September, and December), flights will operate directly from Kathmandu to Lukla.

Flight Decisions and Potential Delays

Please note that flight decisions to Lukla are solely at the discretion of the airlines and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal. Factors such as weather conditions, natural calamities, and airport traffic congestion can lead to delays or cancellations of flights.

Alternative Arrangements

In case of flight delays or cancellations, you have two options:

Helicopter Ride: Opt for a helicopter ride from Kathmandu.
Extended Itinerary: Increase your itinerary time frame to accommodate any delays.

It is advisable to have an emergency fund ready for such situations. Please note that costs for helicopter rides or additional days are not covered. Our team will make every effort to ensure good weather and smooth travel, but if issues persist, we will work with you to arrange alternate plans.
