More informationDuring peak seasons (March, April, May, September, October, and November), flights to Lukla are operated from Ramechhap/Manthali due to air traffic congestion in Kathmandu. Manthali is a 5 to 6-hour drive from Kathmandu. In non-peak seasons (January, February, June, July, August, and December), flights depart from Kathmandu. Please note, flight operations depend on the airline and the number of travelers in a given month. Flight delays or cancellations may occur due to weather conditions, airport congestion, or topographical challenges. We recommend adding one or two extra days to your itinerary to accommodate potential delays and ensure you can catch your international flight as planned.
