Flight Information on Kathmandu and Lukla during the Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lake Trek


There are flights from Kathmandu to Lukla in the morning which marks the beginning of the trek. Operated by home airlines, small planes like Twin Otter and Dornier are scheduled every morning, or you can charter a plane. Lukla Airport Tenzing Hillary Airport (LUA) is another small home airport at 2860m, the only port of entry to the Everest area for the fixed wings.

The airport has very confined facilities, unlike different airports inside the country. Due to the constrained geographical, mountainous weather conditions and limited airport facilities, flights are not on time or cancel.Suppose the disease persists in staying additional nights in Lukla, even as on any hiking program, the trekkers must buy a different day for the lodging and food, which can honestly be paid for by yourself in Kathmandu or Lukla.

If Kathmandu airport is closed or behind schedule due to heavy air visitor situations and your trip timetable is tight, there may be every other choice. We can drive from Kathmandu to Ramachhap, where flights are scheduled for Lukla. The Ramechhap airport is placed 130km east of Kathmandu and takes approximately 4 hours of driving. If you want to avoid a flight from/ Ramechhap to Lukla to Ramechhap, another alternate desire is to charter the helicopter for five humans.

Generally, the Helicopter price is around US$ 500 ++ per individual for one way. Helicopter constitution service isn't guaranteed because it calls for earlier confirmation due to their tight timetable. If you confirm for this reason, or the Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lake Trekking or other Everest Trekking Packages applications through Helicopter, we'll start coordinating with the Helicopter Company on your chartered flight and get everything prepared in your easy and snug transportation.

The Food in Three Pass Trek is a popular trekking route in the Everest region of Nepal. The trek covers three high mountain passes: Kongma La Pass (5,535m), Cho La Pass (5,420m), and Renjo La Pass (5,360m), and takes around 19-21 days to complete. As the name suggests, food is a key feature of this trek. Along the way, you will pass through several small villages and tea houses, where you can enjoy a variety of traditional Nepalese and Tibetan dishes, as well as international cuisine. Some popular dishes to try include momos (dumplings filled with vegetables or meat), dal bhat (rice and lentil soup with vegetables and/or meat), and thukpa (noodle soup).It's important to note that the food options may become more limited as you climb higher, so it's a good idea to bring some high-energy snacks and trail mix to supplement your meals. Additionally, it's important to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated throughout the trek.Overall, the Food Three Pass Trek is a challenging but rewarding adventure that offers stunning views of the Himalayas and a chance to experience the local culture and cuisine of the region.

On the Everest Three Pass Trek, you will spend the night in a lodge or guest house. The rooms will be on twin-sharing terms with little space and a few pieces of furniture.
