Notice on Domestic Flight (Kathmandu – Lukla)

The Government of Nepal has announced an issue for the flight operation to Lukla. Most of the flights to Lukla will commence from Ramechhap until further notice to avoid the heavy traffic congestion in Kathmandu airport. The airport in Ramechhap is located 130km from Kathmandu (approximately 3-4 hours drive)

Alternatively, helicopter arrangements can be made on 5 people sharing basis with the addition of USD 500 for one way flight per person to change your airplane flights to the helicopter. We will try to coordinate and form groups at the airport for this arrangement, but we cannot guarantee it. The drive to Ramechhap and flight to Lukla is almost always guaranteed unless the flight is canceled due to bad weather conditions.

Travelers are suggested to advise us on the prefer.

Best Seasons

The most favorable seasons for Mera peak Climbing and Amphu Lapcha Pass are Spring ( April and May) and Autumn (mid September to mid November). We do have some departures during some other months as well because we would like to offer some opportunities for people who cannot make their holidays during the best months. The best months has been defined on the basis of visibility and weather condition.
