The traditional and peaceful villages are located in a beautiful valley. Our final spot of the trek is Tengboche, it is a scenic spot reachable within a short time. Tengboche Monastery has to be its main attraction.

A festival is held once a year in October or November according to the Buddhist Lunar calendar. It’ll be a great place to be to feel its natural beauty in the harmony of high mountains and prayer chanting during this time of the year. The trekking journey comes to an end as we walk back to Lukla for the short flight to Kathmandu after a short, mesmerizing and wonderful Everest adventure.

Flight Delays: Due to the geographical diversity and unpredictable climate in the Himalayas, internal flights are often delayed or cancelled. Weather conditions like heavy rainfall, storms, or fog can disrupt flights. So, it is wise to spare an extra day or two as buffer days, in case of flight delays and cancellations. Likewise, it is also necessary to note that the weather conditions are great during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. If you have enough time, you can also choose road transportation in such cases.

Note: Due to the Air Traffic at Tribhuvan International Airport, all flights to and from Lukla will now be operated from Ramechhap Airport, which is a 4-hour drive from Kathmandu. The transportation to and from Ramechhap will be provided by the company. Thus, it’s good to keep a few extra days after a trek in case of flight delay or cancellation.

If you are thinking about a holiday in Nepal and want a hassle-free experience, I would highly recommend Heaven Nepal Adventure! Thanks so much to Shusil Khanal for all your help organising our amazing trek you were always there to help any hour of the day! We were also so happy to have the very experienced Binod Rana Magar looking after us and making sure we had a great experience. Meeting Binod at the airport was so good after having our luggage lost by the airline. It had been 26 years since my wife and I had been to Nepal. I never thought I would fly into Lukla airport twice let alone with my family and using a trekking company. However we are so glad that we chose Shusil at Hevan Nepal Adventure. It just made everything flow so easy. Such a big thankyou to Binod Rana Magar, Kamal Magar and Shambu who were such fun to be around the entire trek.
