Actually, the jeep goes up to Paiya or
Thamdanda via Salleri from Kathmandu. Initially, you drive for Salleri from Kathmandu
for more than 8 hours and then drive to Paiya or Thamdanda for your Everest
Base Camp Trek. The local government of Khumbu region is planning to stretch the
road up to Surke where helipad I located just below Lukla and in few years up
to Chaurikharka.
Jeep trip up to Paiya or Thamdanda
from Kathmandu via Salleri is the best way to escape irritating and upsetting
Lukla flights from and to Kathmandu. Lukla flights from and to Kathmandu are
upsetting in the sense that the flights are frequently disturbed by the bad
weather conditions and consequently, the flights are either postponed or
delayed and even cancelled. In this case, you have to hire helicopter which is
very costly to fly back to Kathmandu to catch up your international flights and
other emergency works. So, you’d better go with jeep ride to Paiya/Thamdanda
via Salleri from Kathmandu and you can still od the same while returning or you
can fly back to Kathmandu by helicopter.
The jeep trip to Everest Base Camp takes
you only up to Thamdanda or Paiya via Salleri from Kathmandu and you need to
walk up to Everest Base Camp via Namche, Tencgboche and Lobuche. However, you don’t
need to wait for the Lukla flight to commence your Everest Base Camp Trek.
Yes, you can do it. Actually, majority
of trekkers who do Everest Base Camp do like this these days: trekking to
Everest Base Cam and flying back with helicopter while returning.
You can also do the same. You begin
your Everest Base Camp Trek from Lukla or Paiya if you take a jeep drive from
Kathmandu via Salleri an then climb Namche Bazaar, then, Dingboche and Lobuche
and finally to Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar. After ascending to Everest Base
Camp and Kalapatthar, you can fly back to either Lukla or Kathmandu by helicopter
which will be another exciting moment for you during your Everest Base Camp
Trek.
It’s your choice whether you fly directly
to Kathmandu from Everest Base Camp or only up to Lukla airport or Manthali
airport. After you fly back to Manthali airport, you can easily get transportation
service for Kathmandu. These days, most of the flights are operated from
Manthali airport, Ramechhap.
Everest Base Camp Trek from Lukla to
Lukla is 11 days and if you count the days of arrival and the number of days to
go Lukla or Rmechhap, Manthali, it is 13-14 days. It means, 14 days Everest
Base Camp Trek Itinerary is the finest trek itinerary to be followed for
Everest Base Camp Trek. Also, some people want to have some spare days in case
of Lukla flights delayed, postponement or cancellation. This is very wise idea
as well. If you count the spare days after the trek ends, it will be total
15-16 days for Everest Base Camp Trek. Here, if you really want a very relaxing
and flexible Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary, you can go with either 15/16 days
Everest Base Camp Trek.
Yes, you can fly directly to Everest
Base Camp by helicopter and even land there for the mountain views for maximum
half an hour. It takes around 45 minutes to fly to Everest Base Camp and you
will step at Everest Base Camp, make pictures and make history if stepping at
the highest mountain base camp of the world and after half an hour, you will
fly back to Everest View Hotel and have some snacks/lunch or breakfast and then
finally fly back to Kathmandu.
You just need to have about 3 hours’
time frame with you and willing to go Everest Base Camp by helicopter. But, don’t
try to stay longer at Everest Base Camp as the elevation is above 5000m and you
may suffer from acute mountain sickness.
