Lukla Airport and Flight Information

The Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla is the gateway to almost all the trekking trips inside the Everest Trekking region except for the Pikey Peak trek. Therefore, the airport is the important landmark of the region. Before the establishment of the airport, people used to start the trekking from Jiri. This is still in practice in the form of the Classical Everest Base Camp Trek. However, the road network to Surke from Salleri has opened doors for the Everest Base Camp Trek by road as well.

It takes about 30 to 35 minutes to reach Lukla Airport from Kathmandu. However, during the peak season of trekking in Nepal, trekkers have to fly from Ramechhap instead of Kathmandu. In order to maintain the traffic and to avoid any kinds of disturbances due to weather conditions, the flight takes place from Manthali Airport instead of Kathmandu during the spring & autumn season. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to reach the Ramechhap Manthali Airport from Kathmandu.
