Getting to the Everest region typically involves a combination of flights and trekking or, in some cases, helicopter rides. The most common way to access the Everest region is through Lukla, a small town with an airport known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get into the Everest region:
Fly to Kathmandu
First, you need to fly into Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu, Nepal's capital city. There are several international airlines that operate flights to Kathmandu from various destinations.
Obtain necessary permits
Before heading to the Everest region, you'll need to obtain the necessary trekking permits, such as the TIMS card (Trekkers' Information Management System) and the Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit. We will usually handle this process for you.

Fly to Lukla
From Kathmandu, you will take a domestic flight to Lukla (approximately 25-30 minutes). This scenic flight offers stunning views of the Himalayas, and the landing at Lukla's Tenzing-Hillary Airport is an experience in itself due to its short runway and mountainous surroundings. Flights to Lukla can be affected by weather conditions, so it's essential to have some flexibility in your schedule to accommodate potential delays.
Begin your trek
Once you arrive in Lukla, your trek into the Everest region will begin. Depending on your chosen trekking route, you will pass through various villages, such as Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche, before reaching your final destination, such as Everest Base Camp or one of the high-altitude viewpoints like Kala Patthar.
An alternative way to reach the Everest region is by flying into Phaplu or Ramechhap and trekking to Lukla, although this option involves a longer trekking duration. Some trekkers also opt for a more luxurious experience by using helicopter services for transportation between locations within the Everest region.
