How do we get from Kathmandu to Lukla?
Lukla is the mountain airport serving the Khumbu Region. It is located at an elevation of 9,300 feet and is accessible from Kathmandu via commercial flights. Most airlines serving Lukla use Canadian-made DeHavilland Twin Otter aircraft. These planes, which seat 21 passengers with two-engines and fixed landing gear, are the work-horses of remote destinations worldwide. Upon arrival in Lukla, you will be met by your trekking staff and get underway descending to the first night’s camp. The first night will be spent in Phakding which is at 8,300 feet.
