Lukla Flight Information
Flying to Lukla (Tenzing-Hillary Airport) has its own challenges and the chief among them is the weather. Lukla is surrounded by the peaks, the weather here is unpredictable and changes frequently. Flights operate only when the weather is stable and clear visibility. The chances of your Lukla flight getting canceled cannot be ruled out. If this happens, your EBC Trek may get extended by a day or two. So, we recommend you to keep buffer days so that you may not miss your international flight.
If there is a long delay due to bad weather for Lukla flight, it is better to use helicopter flight. We will secure a space for you on a helicopter flight but the cost for the helicopter flight is not included in the trip price so, you have to pay separately for the flight.
Due to overcrowding at the Kathmandu airport during the high season (Spring- March, April, May & Autumn - October, November), flights to and from Lukla now operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap. The airport lies 132km (4hrs drive) from Kathmandu.

So, over all you have a different choice of food on trek.
Trekking Seasons
We do have two best seasons to attempt this trek to Everest Base Camp. As this trip is a big trip to you, we always suggest you to come at the right time of the year as far as possible.
Spring: - (March, April, May) - Best warmest time to trek. Rhododendron flowers in bloom- excellent trails and clear skies, best visibility. Good Temperature, warmest weather of the year.
Autumn:- (Mid September, October and November) - Excellent trails, clear blue skies, best visibility. Best Time to Trek
Winter Months: - (December, January and February) are also good, but it’s obviously colder. You have to be prepared for this. It is up to you to plan this trek at this cold time or not.
Summer: - Monsoon, so rain and visibility can be a big issue (from Mid June, July and August). We do not suggest you this time for the trek.
Acclimatization
There is no way to prepare for altitude other than to spend time at altitude. Being in very good physical condition will help ameliorate some of the exhaustion that people often feel, but it will not prevent altitude caused medical problems such as Acute Mountain Sickness. This itinerary is designed with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) in mind and to ensure a comfortable and safe adventure trek in the Himalayas. Staying well hydrated and getting plenty of rest may help.
The maximum elevation of this trek will be reached at Everest Base Camp at 5364m above sea level. Obviously this altitude range is high, but as we would be e range of altitude, and we are hiking from the 820m to this altitude range with enough days of hiking en route, it is not considered a high risk zone for AMS. However, AMS could affect to the peoples indifferently.

You must obtain personal travel insurance to join us for our Himalayan trips. You must be having a travel insurance which must cover helicopter evacuation, trip cancellation and medical expenses. And it is suggested that you buy your insurance policy from you homeland country before traveling as it is difficult buying local travel insurance policy for foreigners in Nepal.

This is my 3rd time to Nepal and 2nd time trekking with Advanced Adventures.

Useful Information
Lukla Flight Information
Flying to Lukla (Tenzing-Hillary Airport) has its own challenges and the chief among them is the weather. Lukla is surrounded by the peaks, the weather here is unpredictable and changes frequently. Flights operate only when the weather is stable and clear visibility. The chances of your Lukla flight getting canceled cannot be ruled out. If this happens, your EBC Trek may get extended by a day or two. So, we recommend you to keep buffer days so that you may not miss your international flight.
If there is a long delay due to bad weather for Lukla flight, it is better to use helicopter flight. We will secure a space for you on a helicopter flight but the cost for the helicopter flight is not included in the trip price so, you have to pay separately for the flight.
Due to overcrowding at the Kathmandu airport during the high season (Spring- March, April, May & Autumn - October, November), flights to and from Lukla now operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap. The airport lies 132km (4hrs drive) from Kathmandu.

Our Guides, Trip & Safety

At every trip, there would be our one Trek leader and one assistance leader on each additional 2 peoples on the trek- this arrangement would ensure that even if any of our guide/ assistance guides get sick or if any travelers gets sick and need to be back or delay the days of walking, it would still works smoothly and there would not be any impact on our original trek plan. Also each two trekker would have one Sherpa helper for carrying your trekking bags.

While in Kathmandu, your accommodation is at 3 star deluxe hotel that has all the modern amenities to ensure you comfort stay and while in trek, your accommodation is at Mt. Lodge and Guest Houses.

Our entire accommodation is at twin share unless stated but single supplement accommodation is also available on personal request at the additional cost of US$- 350.
In city, only breakfast is included on the offered trip itinerary but while in trek full board of meals is included (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, and Tea- Coffee).

So, over all you have a different choice of food on trek.
Trekking Seasons
We do have two best seasons to attempt this trek to Everest Base Camp. As this trip is a big trip to you, we always suggest you to come at the right time of the year as far as possible.
Spring: - (March, April, May) - Best warmest time to trek. Rhododendron flowers in bloom- excellent trails and clear skies, best visibility. Good Temperature, warmest weather of the year.
Autumn:- (Mid September, October and November) - Excellent trails, clear blue skies, best visibility. Best Time to Trek
Winter Months: - (December, January and February) are also good, but it’s obviously colder. You have to be prepared for this. It is up to you to plan this trek at this cold time or not.
Summer: - Monsoon, so rain and visibility can be a big issue (from Mid June, July and August). We do not suggest you this time for the trek.
Acclimatization
There is no way to prepare for altitude other than to spend time at altitude. Being in very good physical condition will help ameliorate some of the exhaustion that people often feel, but it will not prevent altitude caused medical problems such as Acute Mountain Sickness. This itinerary is designed with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) in mind and to ensure a comfortable and safe adventure trek in the Himalayas. Staying well hydrated and getting plenty of rest may help.
The maximum elevation of this trek will be reached at Everest Base Camp at 5364m above sea level. Obviously this altitude range is high, but as we would be e range of altitude, and we are hiking from the 820m to this altitude range with enough days of hiking en route, it is not considered a high risk zone for AMS. However, AMS could affect to the peoples indifferently.
Travel Insurance & Vaccination
You must obtain personal travel insurance to join us for our Himalayan trips. You must be having a travel insurance which must cover helicopter evacuation, trip cancellation and medical expenses. And it is suggested that you buy your insurance policy from you homeland country before traveling as it is difficult buying local travel insurance policy for foreigners in Nepal.
Vaccination is required to plan to your trip to Nepal but it is not a must to have thing to come, but highly suggested. Your doctor will have the information of vaccination you would require to the country you will be traveling.
Hepatitis A, Japanese Encephalitis, Polio, Rabies, Tetanus, Typhoid and Malaria etc. are the recommended vaccination for traveling to Nepal.

Langtang Valley Trek with AA: Best Trekking Guide, Porter & Hospitality Service
Ms. Hsing Ling
This is my 3rd time to Nepal and 2nd time trekking with Advanced Adventures. The service provided by Chet’s team is top notch, from the time we arrived at the airport, the Trek, and the departure - everything is well-thought of and planned. In this trip, Ram Timalsina was our guide - with more than 15 years of experience, he was the perfect guide and provided the best arrangements for us along the Langtang Valley Trek. His knowledge is so extensive and he is so helpful even to others. His connection with the villages along the way also speaks volume of his good reputation among the locals in the mountains. Together with Kishor, our porter, they make a perfect guide + porter pair with such good humor, laughter and even deep conversations during our 8-day Langtang Trek. I would highly recommend Booking your next trekking trip with Chet, Ram & Kishhor!
