Flight Delay in Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu
Twin Otter and Dornier is the primary mode of transport to and from the airstrip at Lukla. This service is fairly dependable.

In such case, Amazing Nepal will charter a helicopter to ensure you are on schedule for your international flight. The helicopter can fly if the visibility is 1500m, while the twin otter can fly if the visibility is 5000m, as per Nepal’s Civil Aviation rules.

The cost of the helicopter is payable directly to our Kathmandu office in the event that this service is utilized. US cash, traveler’s cheques, or credit cards (Visa Cards, Master Cards only) are accepted. You will be given a receipt upon payment so that you may claim the amount from your travel insurance. The minimum cost will be US$500 and maximum US$3500 depending on the number of group members.

It is recommended that you should arrive in Kathmandu a day earlier before you start your trek. When you arrive a day earlier, you will have time to rest as well as time to buy trekking equipment. Similarly, it is best to have some extra days after you have finished your trek because your flight to Kathmandu/Lukla might be canceled due to bad weather. So all together it is recommended to have a few extra days beside the trip schedule so that you don’t miss your International Flight.

Package Reviews

What our customer says about this package.

Short Trek To Everest View Point

I and my boyfriend booked 4 days Everest View Trek with Amazing Nepal Trek and Expedition. The trek was extremely well organized, the porters and guide were fantastic and we were well looked after. There were groups with other well known international organizations and I always felt we had a better team, more friendly and more responsive to our needs. And we were supporting a local Nepalese company that cares for the guides and porters and the places we visited. 
I would highly recommend Amazing Nepal Trek and Expedition and Mr Santosh and will use them again. If you use them I can assure you will not be disappointed as Santosh takes all customers as personal friends and wants them all to have a great and safe trip.
