Why Kathmandu to Lukla Helicopter fight?

Reaching Lukla in a short time is possible only by catching flights from Kathmandu to Lukla. Another way is by doing one-week-long trekking from the Jiri Salleri route, which is not a viable option.

First, the unpredictable weather at Lukla and surrounding places can change without no notice. Due to this, the cancellation of flights happens frequently. It causes a delay in your scheduled departure. Also, the strong wind between the mountains sometimes causes excessive turbulence that leads to flight cancellation.

Also, Kathmandu airport always comes with maintenance and ground issues. It makes the flight traffic huge and often delays the flight for several hours. Sometimes, the flights may get diverted to other airports.

A helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is the only option to avoid flight delays.
