Additional Information

Peak Season (March, April, May, October, and November):
During the busy trekking season, flights to Lukla operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap to manage increased air traffic. Early in the morning (between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM), we depart from Kathmandu in a shared tourist vehicle for a 5-6 hour drive to Manthali. Upon arrival, we board a short, scenic 20-minute flight to Lukla.

Off-Season (January, February, June, July, August, September, and December):
In quieter months, flights to Lukla depart directly from Kathmandu. After an early breakfast, our team will escort you to the domestic terminal for a 35-minute flight, providing breathtaking views of the Himalayas.

Helicopter Option:
If you'd like to avoid the drive to Manthali during peak seasons, you can take a direct helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla for an additional cost of USD 550 per person (based on five people sharing).
