Key Note:

High altitude weather conditions are usually unpredictable, even during the best trekking seasons. Because of this, there may be sudden schedule changes with domestic flights to and from Lukla. The time duration varies depending on the weather condition. The flights may be delayed for a minimum of several hours extending to several days, depending on the weather conditions. Therefore, we strongly recommend you get ready for this by adding a few extra days to your plan. However, if everything goes according to plan you will be left with days that can be well utilized to enjoy other attractions like rafting, jungle safari, shopping, and many more.
