Flight Delays: Due to the geographical diversity and unpredictable climate in the Himalayas internal flights are often delayed or cancelled. Weather conditions like heavy rainfall storms or fog can disrupt flights. So it is wise to spare an extra day or two as buffer days in case of flight delays and cancellations. Likewise it is also necessary to note that the weather conditions are great during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. If you have enough time you can also choose road transportation in such cases.

Note: Due to the Air Traffic at Tribhuvan International Airport all flights to and from Lukla will now be operated from Ramechhap Airport which is a 4-hour drive from Kathmandu. The transportation to and from Ramechhap will be provided by the company. Thus keeping a few extra days after a trek is good in case of flight delay or cancellation.
