Important Note

Notes

  • Proper mental and physical preparation is essential for trekking and peak climbing in the Everest region. Trekkers and climbers should be prepared for high altitude, changing weather conditions, and basic mountain facilities.
  • Lukla flights are highly weather-dependent, and delays or cancellations can occasionally occur due to mountain weather conditions.

Alternative Transportation Option

In case of flight cancellation, an alternative overland route is available:

  • Kathmandu to Surke Jeep Drive
  • Approximate distance: 380 km
  • Duration: around 2 days drive
  • Please note that approximately 30% of the road is in rough off-road condition

This option is commonly used during bad weather or peak trekking seasons when flights are disrupted.

Optional Helicopter Upgrade

Kathmandu – Lukla – Kathmandu Helicopter Service

For greater comfort, flexibility, and to avoid possible flight delays, direct helicopter flights between Kathmandu and Lukla are available.

  • Additional cost: USD 600 per person (one way)

Helicopter flights are faster, more comfortable, and operate more reliably during unstable weather conditions compared to regular domestic flights.

Travel Recommendation

We strongly recommend keeping a few extra buffer days in your travel itinerary before international flights, especially during the busy spring and autumn trekking seasons, as weather-related delays in the Everest region are common.

Trip Itinerary

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our representative, who will be waiting for you with a sign displaying your name. They will assist you with your transfer through Kathmandu's vibrant streets to your hotel in Thamel. 

After settling in to your hotel, you can take rest, relax, recover from jet lag, or explore Thamel's maze of trekking shops, cafés, and street vendors. That evening, we'll gather for a pre-trek briefing. This is where you'll meet your guide and your fellow trekkers. Ask all your burning questions—there are no silly ones when it comes to the Himalayas. We'll go through gear checks, discuss the itinerary, and make sure everyone's mentally ready for what's ahead.

Here's something many trekkers don't expect: your trek actually begins with a scenic 5-6 hour drive from Kathmandu to Manthali (Ramechhap). During the peak season, flights to Lukla operate from Manthali airport this to reduce congestion at Kathmandu's airport. 

The drive itself is an experience, taking you through winding mountain roads, terraced rice paddies cascading down hillsides, and rural villages where life moves at a completely different pace. You'll spot distant snow-capped peaks teasing you with what's coming. Kids wave from doorways. Buses make their way with carrying passengers, livestock and household goods. 

By evening, you'll reach Manthali and check into a guesthouse.

Epic High-Altitude Adventure on a Budget!

The Everest Three Passes Budget Trek with Higher Path Treks & Expeditions was an unforgettable and challenging Himalayan journey. Crossing Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La passes was tough but incredibly rewarding, with some of the most stunning mountain views I have ever seen. Even on a budget package, the service was excellent, with well-organized logistics, comfortable teahouses, and great support from our guide. Safety and acclimatization were always prioritized, which made the trek smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Higher Path Treks & Expeditions for trekkers seeking a budget-friendly yet true adventure in the Everest region!
