Lukla Flight and Cancellation:
Flights to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region, are a thrilling part of the Everest trekking experience. These flights usually operate from either Kathmandu or Ramechhap, depending on the season and air traffic regulations. Due to the high-altitude terrain and unpredictable mountain weather, Lukla flights are highly sensitive to weather conditions and are frequently delayed or even canceled—especially during the monsoon and winter seasons. We strongly advise trekkers to keep at least 1-2 buffer days in their itinerary to accommodate potential flight disruptions. In case of prolonged cancellations, helicopter charter options may be available at additional cost.
At Mount Elegance Trek and Expedition, we closely monitor flight schedules and weather updates to keep you informed and assist with alternative arrangements as needed, ensuring your journey remains smooth and stress-free.
