The weather has not been very stable over the past few days, but all teams are on track and progressing well. Congratulations to those who have finished, and best wishes to those continuing.

Hoping for clearer skies and better views in the coming days.

These images are from our current trips across the mountains, showing a small part of what is happening on the ground right now.

Most trekkers fly to Lukla to begin their journey into the Everest region. The flight runs from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Tenzing-Hillary Airport, a small airstrip sitting at 2,860 meters in the Khumbu Valley. The trip takes around 30 to 35 minutes, and for most trekkers, it’s the first real sign that the trek is actually happening.

Lukla is one of the most delay-prone airports in Nepal. The airstrip sits in a narrow mountain valley where weather shifts quickly, and flights only proceed when visibility is clear and winds are manageable. When clouds roll in or conditions change, airlines ground their flights without much warning. It’s simply how operations work at high altitude, and any operator who tells you otherwise isn’t being straight with you.

Lukla flight delays, what to expect, and the best backup options. Practical tips to manage cancellations, reschedule flights, and keep your trek on track.

If your flight is affected, there are still alternative routes to reach Kathmandu through airlines such as Turkish Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Korean Air, Thai Airways, Air India, and China Southern.

If travelling to Nepal becomes difficult or not possible due to these circumstances, please get in touch with us. We are offering flexible booking options and will work with you to review the best solution for your trip.

Have you thought about trekking to Everest Base Camp? The experience varies significantly depending on which trek you choose. This famous Himalayan journey isn’t just about stunning mountain views. It’s also about finding the right pace, style, and comfort level for you.

At Highland Expeditions, we offer two options for reaching Everest Base Camp. Our Standard and Luxury Everest Base Camp treks are designed for different types of travelers. Maybe you want to stay in a standard lodge and experience the traditional trekking atmosphere, or perhaps you’d prefer nicer lodges and greater comfort along the way.
