End of our services

Note: Because of bad weather we could face problems with domestic flights to/from Lukla being delayed by a few hours or canceled for a day or more. Very rarely, but it could happen even in the best trekking season also as you know how climate changes affect our world. Thus, we always recommend you add supplement nights in Kathmandu after your trek if possible (just in case). If everything runs smoothly, you can enjoy other activities like sightseeing, White water rafting, wildlife activities, and shopping, as you wish on that additional day. However, if you want Heli rescue in the state of flight cancellation to/from Lukla-we can organize it as per your request with extra cost.
