Dear guest, Please be informed that due to traffic congestion as well as renovation in Kathmandu airport, most of Lukla's flight has been operating from Manthali airport since July 2019. For your information, it takes roughly 4 hours drive to get to Manthali airport from Kathmandu by Arniko Highway. This means you need to wake up early in the morning around 2:30 AM - 3:00 AM to go for a drive and catch your early morning Lukla flight from Manthali
Another best option is you can go Ramechhap one day earlier by private Vehicle or you can fly to Lukla directly by Helicopter. For a Helicopter flight, it cost approximately USD 300-500 Per Person. If you are looking more comfortable & hassle-free journey then flying by helicopter to Lukla would be the best option.
If you want to drive Ramechhap as per the original itinerary then, we will drive to Manthali Airport by our comfortable Private vehicle early in the morning. it takes about 4 hours to reach Manthali by road from Kathmandu. We take an early morning adventurous flight from Manthali Airport to Lukla. This air route is one of the most beautiful routes in the entire world filled with the highest peaks and incredible green forests. It takes around 20 minutes to reach Lukla by flight from Manthali Airport.
Arguably, this is one of the most beautiful sky routes in the world, which concludes in a remarkable landing on a hillside surrounded by high mountains peaks. Upon arrival at Lukla, you meet the other trekking members, and after some sorting and packing and arrangements, you will start your trek through the pretty wealthy village of Lukla until you reach Phakding.
To assist in acclimatization, we only have a short hike today. However, if you are interested in additional activities, we can take a side trip to a nearby monastery. This is our first Overnight in Phakding. Best Lodge accommodation

The walk up to the monastery, 3,940m/12,927ft, which is over 600 years old is one of the four oldest in Sherpa country, takes about one hour. The main temple has a fantastic atmosphere, and, not surprisingly, the monks smile permanently.

This monastery is located in the Khumbu region, 200 meters above the village. It is set on the southern slope of Sumdur Mountain under a very high rocky cliff, noted for its rock formations, which are mentioned in five books on the history of the region.

When we hike above 3500 meters our bodies have to acclimatize to the decreasing amount of the oxygen available. To allow our bodies to adjust we have designed our treks itinerary so that you walk gradually, allowing acclimatization to occur. However, during the acclimatization process, You may experience some of the following symptoms.
Each Person acclimatizes at different rates. Our best suggestion is to take your time and drink plenty of water. These symptoms may not indicate the onset of A.M.S. and if you experience them it does not necessarily mean that you should not continue. All our Sherpa guides have extensive first aid training and we urge you to talk with the Sherpa guide at all times should you believe you have any symptoms in order that we can efficiently monitor your symptoms. The only cure for Acute Mountain Sickness is to descend. Please note that your guide has ultimate responsibility and may ask you to descend if symptoms persist.
