Flight ticket to Lukla from Kathmandu for Everest Trek

Lukla Airport, officially known as Tenzing Hillary Airport, is a small single-landing strip airport in the mountains at an elevation of 2,860 m, which is the gateway to the Everest region. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is very thrilling and the most convenient way to reach Lukla.

The 35-minute exciting Kathmandu-Lukla flight starts from the Tribhuwan International Airport during the off-season, treating passengers to breathtaking views of the Kathmandu Valley and the surrounding hills, and moves forward following the Dudh Koshi river, slowing transiting the views to terraced fields, remote villages, and the snow-capped peaks.

There are regular flights operating from Kathmandu to Lukla, but during the peak seasons (March, April, May, October, and November), the flights will be operated from Ramechhap due to air traffic expansion. To reach Ramechhap, you’ll have to drive for 5 to 6 hours from Kathmandu. From there, you’ll board a 20-minute flight to Lukla, whereas the direct flight to Lukla from Kathmandu will be operated in January, February, June, July, August, September, and December.
