Note related to flights in and out of Lukla airport: During peak trekking seasons (March, April, October and November) all flights departing from Kathmandu to Lukla are being diverted to Ramechhap. Ramechhap airport is approximately 140km from Kathmandu and from Ramechhap the flight to Lukla is only 10-15 minutes. Kathmandu airport is unable to cope with the traffic congestion from Lukla flights, and during the peak season CAAN (Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal) have decided to lessen the congestion at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport by diverting all Lukla flights to Ramechhap. How this will impact you: You will need to travel by bus to and from Ramechhap, it will mean that on Day 2 of your itinerary, instead of going to Kathmandu airport you will be taking a bus to Ramechhap. You will need to get up early that morning, possibly 2am, your guide will meet you at the hotel and will be traveling to Ramechhap with you. The bus journey to and from Kathmandu will take approximately 4-5 hours but this can change depending on traffic. You will arrive in Ramechhap early in the morning to catch your flight to Lukla.

Your trekking schedule remains the same, the only difference is the inconvenience of the bus journey to and from Ramechhap. Helicopter There is the option for you to take a helicopter in and out of Lukla, the helicopters depart directly from Kathmandu. This option is very expensive and is absolutely not a requirement. The cost of a helicopter is AUD$850 per person each way. We are able to reimburse AUD$220 which is the cost of your canceled airline ticket, which would then make your one way helicopter flight AUD$630 each way. Please be reminded again that this is NOT an expectation or a requirement.
