Lukla flight will be redirected from March 2024. During the peak trekking months (March, April, May, October, and November), flights from Kathmandu to Lukla might be redirected to Manthali-Lukla due to congestion at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The journey to Manthali takes approximately five hours by car or jeep, so, you should leave from hotel around 1:00 am. From there, we'll drive you to Manthali Airport for a brief 20-minute flight to Lukla.
In the off-peak seasons (January, February, June, July, August, September, and December), you can opt for a direct 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. so, you should leave the hotel around 5:30 am to get on time at TIA for the morning flight to Lukla.
