Dear guest, Please be informed that due to traffic congestion as well as renovation in Kathmandu airport, most of Lukla's flight has been operating from Manthali airport since July 2019. For your information, it takes roughly 4 hours drive to get to Manthali airport from Kathmandu by Arniko Highway. This means you need to wake up early in the morning around 2:30 AM - 3:00 AM to go for a drive and catch your early morning Lukla flight from Manthali
Another best option is you can go Ramechhap one day earlier by private Vehicle or you can fly to Lukla directly by Helicopter. For a Helicopter flight, it cost approximately USD 300-500 Per Person.

Each Person acclimatizes at different rates. Our best suggestion is to take your time and drink plenty of water.
