How to Reach Lukla- the Gateway to the Summit?

By Flight

Lukla, a village in Nepal, serves as the gateway to the highest summit. Taking a 40-minute flight to Lukla from Kathmandu is going to save you time. There are frequent flights connecting this village to the capital town of Nepal.
The flight journey from Kathmandu to Lukla is itself a full of memories. One can view the scenic beauty of the Himalayas from the flight. From Lukla, one can trek all the places from the Sagarmatha region only if you one does not opt for helicopter service.

By Bus

Besides the flight, one can reach Lukla by road as well. A bus ride to Jiri and then reaching out to the point of trek is another way out. However, this is going to be time taking and would take almost 6 days to reach Lukla.

Onset of the Trekking Expedition

Lukla is situated at a height of 2800MSL and stretches up to 5643MSL near the Everest Base Camp. The key to successfully reaching the spot is to ascend gradually on daily basis and without hurrying owing to the sudden increase in the elevation.

Things to RememberTo make the 14-day Everest Base Camp successful, it is necessary to keep in mind several things and adhering to them.

• Trekking needs to be done with a proper rest as it might lead to altitude sickness. The lower regions like Phakding, Lukla, and some part of Namche Bazaar will be less cold. As one ascends above 4000 meters, temperature starts to dip and gets colder.
• The entire hiking year is divided into two parts- September to Early December & Mid-March to June.

Trekkers prefer these two different seasons. While the time during Mid-March to June is less cold and one can have a glimpse of several wildflowers on the lower altitude region of Gokyo Lake Valley.

The other time of expedition is colder, and by the time of December, it’s extremely cold. However, the skies are clear during the winter. There are trekkers who prefer these colder months for expedition as they want to experience the coldest of the weather. The region has always remained the coldest as Khumbu Ice Fall and the surrounding places are full of glaciers.
