We begin our trek from a short yet beautiful scenic flight to Lukla (2860 m).

After a day at Namche, the trek continues passing through the village of Tengboche (3860 m), home to the holiest and highest Buddhist monastery in the world. The place is famous for photographers who get an exceptional shot of the stunning view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Ama Dabalam and its neighboring peaks. The concluding days of Everest view trek will be spent in the wonderful and scenic villages of Khunde (3840 m) and Khumjung where we will have an opportunity to interact with the local Sherpa people and participate in their remarkable traditional lifestyle.

Flight Delay in Kathmandu and Lukla

Lukla Airport (aka Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Airport), located on an enormous valley is bounded with high mountains. Due to this reason, the arrival and the taking off from Lukla are technical and difficult most of the time. The weather here is unpredictable and changes every next hour which causes flight delay or cancellation.

Twin Otter and Dornier planes are the only primary methods of the transportation to Lukla from Kathmandu of the airway at Lukla. The service provided here is fairly dependable. However, if the flights get cancelled or delayed due to mountain weather conditions, we will help you to charter a helicopter and make sure that you are on schedule for your trip and international flight connections. The additional charges roughly required are USD2,400 to USD2,800 per helicopter (USD 4,50 to USD 2,800 for each individual) would be pertinent to you for the helicopter charter. The helicopter will be taking 4 to 5 trekkers at a time and the expense can be shared among the riders. The cost must be paid by rider, which can later be submitted for reimbursement through travel insurance company. We can assist you with important documents for a claim. Payment for the helicopter must be done by the rider before or during the ride.

US dollars cash or Visas (Visa Cards, Master Cards, and American Express) are accepted for helicopter transport. Any card payment requires a 4 percent bank charge, which goes straightforwardly to the bank. The helicopter will be able to fly if the visibility is 1500 meters or greater, whereas the Twin Otter and Dornier planes can fly if the visibility is 5000 meters or greater, according to Nepalese Civil Aviation rules. If a situation, in which the weather is extreme and the visibility is lesser than 1,500 meters arises, then the helicopters will also not be able to fly either. In such cases, we will reschedule your trip for the following day depending on the availability and condition of weather. If this situation continues for a long time, then you will be provided with alternative trek options.

Trip to see Mount Everest

We have booked Everest View Trek Program. Our trip took place from 22nd October till 1st November, but if we could we would extended our trip for longer.. Upon arrival I was feeling a bit nervous as we did not know what to expect from the trip and it was our first time in Nepal. When we landed in Kathmandu, Ram met us at airport with a very welcome feeling, and it gave us more conference. Airport felt so busy but Ram recognized us within seconds, felt like we know each other from before. First day we spend in Kathmandu, exploring culture and capital its self. Ram gave us advises where to go, what to see and answered all our questions. Very helpful. Second day we meant to get domestic flight to Lukla, but due to bad weather we had to wait one day at the airport, as no flight would flight to mountains. On a second day we have eventually took off to Lukla by helicopter and only thanks to Ram as he managed to secure us a place. So we been very thankful to him. Our guide Sadu unfortunately had to stay at airport and waiting for the next plane, as there was no space available in helicopter. Sadu is very positive and energized person, we have met him latter in mountains.

7 Days Everest View Trek

My wife and I worked with Alpine Eco to arrange a 7 day hike to the Everest View Hotel. We found Ram, the owner, to be responsive, considerate of our needs and super flexible. In addition, the guide and porter he arranged for us were absolutely first-class, could not have wanted anything better. The entire operation was professionally run and we had total confidence that no matter what issues we ran into that it would be taken care of. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ram and Alpine Eco Trek to anyone considering a hike in Nepal.
