Everest Trek with Kathmandu, Lukla Flights

Flights to EBC

Your trekking journey officially starts once you reach Lukla, which is a starting point for Everest. Here are some necessary flights that you should take during your trek.

Kathmandu to Lukla Flight

The Kathmandu to Lukla flight is a thrilling flight where you will get to enjoy different valleys and huge hills along your flight. It is also the flight to the highest-altitude airport in Nepal, Tenzing Hillary Airport, situated in Lukla. The flight will take around 35 to 40 minutes but will be filled with thrills and enhancing views.

This flight is mostly operated  in January, February, June, July, August, and December. Please note that it is solely the airline company's decision whether or not to continue flights, and that choice is influenced by how many people use a particular flight in a given month.

Our staff will escort you to the domestic airport terminal in Kathmandu, and you will board a flight to Lukla, from where the trekking starts.

In the case of no direct flight from Lukla, an alternative route is: Kathmandu to Ramechaap by local bus or Jeep or Ramechhap to Lukla by flight

Ramechhap to Lukla Flight

During peak seasons like March, April, May, September, October, and November, it is usually difficult to get a direct flight to Lukla due to the number of travelers. In such a case, we need to take an alternative flight route, which is a flight to Lukla from Ramechaap.

The flight to Lukla, depending on the number of travelers to EBC, will depart from Ramechhap/Manthali in March, April, May, October, and November due to an increase in air traffic.

The Manthali/Ramechhap airport is about a five- to six-hour drive from Kathmandu. You will first drive to the Manthali airport in a shared tourist bus or Jeep and take a 20-minute flight to Lukla once you reach the airport there.
