Welcome to a new episode of Bucket Lister Podcast titled "Everest Base Camp - Update 2", where we delve deep into the practicalities of your epic journey to the Everest Base Camp. In this episode, we break down the logistics, focusing on setting the right expectations for reaching the critical jumping-off point, Lukla.Once thought of as a direct trip from Kathmandu, getting to Lukla has become more of a journey in itself. Priority is now given to flights from Ramechhap rather than Kathmandu, largely due to airport congestion. However, recent flooding has dramatically impacted the trip duration to Ramechhap, with travel times increasing from the usual 4 hours to approximately 8 hours.While Helicopter services still operate directly from Kathmandu to Lukla, they are not immune to disruptive weather conditions. This situation has resulted in instances where hundreds of adventurers have been stuck in Ramechhap awaiting their flight to Lukla. Hence, the episode aims to bring listeners up to speed on these changes and highlight the importance of having a contingency budget for emergencies such as hopping on a helicopter ride when fixed-wing flights become unfeasible.Additionally, we'll explore an intriguing offshoot at the end of the typical Base Camp itinerary. If you're considering extending your Nepalese adventure with a visit to Chitwan, this episode covers the options for securing flights from Kathmandu.Whether you're a seasoned trekker or a first-time adventurer, this episode delivers essential information to help you plan and have a fantastic Everest Base Camp experience. Join us as we navigate the twists and turns of this legendary trek.For more information on our trips to the Khumbu region in Nepal please click the links belowEverest Base Camp TrekEverest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes TrekEverest Base Camp & Island Peak TrekMera Peak TrekUseful Bucket List ArticlesHow Much Does An Everest Base Camp Trek Cost Your Guide to Nepal Trekking Permits and FeesLukla Flights Fly From Ramechhap———————————————We are The Bucket List Company.
