Lukla Flight Information

Because of the high air traffic in Peak Trekking season, there is no direct flight from Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu. Hence, trekkers must drive 4-5 hours to Ramechapp, Manthali airport to catch the Lukla flight. We suggest our clients arrive in Nepal at least a day before departing for the trek. However, during the off-trekking season (winter and monsoon), there is a direct flight from Kathmandu-Lukla.
