Flight Information about Kathmandu and Lukla Short Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days:

Forgoing 12 days Short Everest Base Camp Trek, we have to fly from Kathmandu to Lukla by small Twin Otter plane. Lukla airport is Nepal's domestic airport and Himalayan region airport, so there is no more facility like in other airports. Sometimes, the flight will be canceled or delayed due to mountain weather or some technical problems with the aircraft. In that case, you have to pay for extra days' bills in Kathmandu or Lukla. If a flight is canceled and you have an international flight in such case, 

Nepal Government has announced that the flight schedule to Lukla from Kathmandu has shifted from Ramechhap until further notice to avoid traffic congestion at Kathmandu airport. The Ramechhap airport is located 130KM far from Kathmandu and approximately 4 hour's drive.
