Important Notes

Kathmandu to Lukla helicopter flights are particularly advantageous during the busy trekking seasons, such as September to November and March to May. During these peak periods, regular Kathmandu-Lukla flights may be rerouted to operate from Ramechhap, which requires a 4-5 hour drive from Kathmandu. For those looking to avoid this lengthy drive and reach Lukla directly and more conveniently, opting for a helicopter flight is an excellent choice. This option not only saves time but also ensures a more comfortable and efficient start to your trekking adventure.

This option is ideal for trekkers and climbers who want a hassle-free and memorable start to their Everest adventure.
