- Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
- Lukla airport or Tenzing–Hillary Airport is a shortest point to start trek to Everest base camp by flight. It lies at the altitude of around 2845 meter in the Himalaya. Hence, to avoid bad weather condition, entire airlines operate their flight in the morning time.
- Due to unfavorable weather conditions, flight to/from Lukla gets delayed or even canceled for one, couple or more days. It might be happened at the time of your trek start or at the end of your trek. Also, you might need to aspect this kind of obstacle even in best season of Nepal.
- We hope this will not happen but in case if this occurs we will try our best to schedule next flight. Furthermore, we suggest you to be prepared with this kind of circumstance. If possible, please try to keep some buffer days in your itinerary. In case if flight cancelled for longer days, you can choose alternative trip toward Annapurna, Langtang and Upper Mustang region. These areas are easily accessible by road so you will not have any problem for flight.
- Alternatively, if you wish to stick with original itinerary then we can arrange Helicopter flight to/from Lukla with a supplement charge. Please note that supplement charge is additional to your flight cost. At the time of your flight to/from Lukla, if you feel that your flight is going to be canceled, you can consult with your guide to arrange Helicopter. As per the availability we will inform you about the time and supplement cost of the flight.

We had the best experience of our lives! This was an impromptu trip at our end but Explore Himalayas specifically Anuj tailored our trip so well just in few hours. Everything was perfect! Hotel pick up- drop off, Lukla flights and our helicopter back from Lukla was all arranged in a day. On this 9 days trip, we have absolutely no complaints. Tea houses, food, guide( Nir kumar) was all very well arranged and above all the right guidance and tips from Anuj made it all possible for us. Can’t thank enough!!

Actually this is my first review on TripAdvisor, and I’m writing it because I don’t know any other way to say Thankyou to Explore Himalay. My soolo trip to Everest Base Camp turned into something I’ll never forget. I went on this trek alone and was honestly scared at the beginning. They have me a guide which was a great decision. My trek was around that time when snow storm had hit the Khumbu region. …the trails were completely covered in snow. I hadn’t carried crampons, and I didn’t even know how to ask for help. But without me asking, the company arranged to have crampons sent by air, and they arrived just in time. There were other groups of the company and turns out they too received it. We were all so happy. Most importantly as a solo traveler, knowing that someone was looking out for me made all the difference. From transfers and lodges to food and daily care, everything was handled so smoothly. The guide was so cool. He was a sound healer. Imagine getting a session admission the Himalayas. Trekking solo in such a remote place could have been overwhelming, but instead it felt safe, organized, and deeply wholesome. No amount of thank you feels enough, but I hope this helps you trust this team the way I did. I’m trekking with again in March .

Namste and thank you very much for this review. This great recommendation means a lot to us.
Our trip in April to Island Peak with Explore Himalaya was truly amazing! We had a sped up version of a summit trip, which was gonna be 14 days which to be fair, I do not recommend unless you are in excellent condition. We did it as our friends could not get more time off, and we appreciated it so much that Explore Himalaya tailor made this trip for us. The difficulty for such a trip for a person like me who likes to plan, is to know what the weather will be like, and of course no one will be able to tell you that. Explore Himalaya had a really helpful packing list, and a very detailed itinerary to sort of know what's expected for the various days - which I very much appreciated. The trip itself went super smooth, we had amazing weather each day, stayed at the best lodges throughout - with clear rooms, with comfortable beds and just delicious food (which to me is the most important). I was the slowest in our group, but got to walk my own pace the whole way, and had a sherpa with me the whole time. Because of this, I felt great throughout the whole trip - with no real symptoms of altitude sickness at all. Thank you, Explore Himalaya, for an incredible adventure in the Himalayas! This will be a trip Ill always remember!

Island Peak - amazing experience Apr 2025 • Friends What an amazing experience my husband Dean and I had during our Island Peak expedition organized by Explore Himalaya. Everything was perfectly managed by the staff, starting from the top level accomodation and flexibility provided to my our group during the entire journey. The guides and the porters worked in a very professional way and I was suprised by the facility with which we were able to interact and communicate. Amazing thanks to Anuj and the whole staff for making our dream an unforgettable reality.
Thanks lot for taking your time and writing this great review for your Island peak adventure with us. We are happy that you choose us for the climb and made to the summit. thanks once again for praising our team and our management. Namaste and happy climbing.
Second time trekking in Nepal with Explore Himalaya - and what an adventure! Two years ago we had an unforgettable experience trekking to Everest Base Camp, so we came back to the magical Khumbu region to chase a new goal: Island Peak. This expedition was a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have happened without the amazing team at Explore Himalaya. From the moment we landed in Kathmandu to summit day, everything was super smooth. Our guides were on it - keeping us safe, helping us acclimatize properly, and making sure we soaked in every step through the Himalayas. Island Peak was hands down the hardest thing I’ve ever done. We were short on time and didn’t overnight at base camp, so the summit push was brutal. High altitude is no joke - neither is the cold! We moved painfully slow over crevasses, ice walls, and sketchy ridges, and reached the headwall just before sunrise. Honestly, we wouldn’t have made it without our guides - they literally pushed us to the top of Imja Tse 😅🙏 If you’re dreaming of climbing in Nepal, I can’t recommend Explore Himalaya enough. Already eyeing my next 6000+ meter rock to climb with them. If you’re up for a real challenge, these are your people.
Namaste and thanks again for choosing us for your Island peak adventure. We are glad that you had a great time and conquered your goal of Island peak. your mention about our Guides and proper acclimatization are very much appreciated and also helpful for the travel community. Thanks again and hopefully you will summit another mountain top with us.
