Kathmandu – Ramechhap – Lukla – EBC

It has been more than one and a half year since the Lukla regular flights stopped flying from Tribhuvan International Airport domestic terminals, Kathmandu. Now, the alternative airport is Ramechhap airport in Manthali. The main reason for making Ramechhap airport being an alternative is the Airport Maintenance and heavy traffic in Kathmandu. But sometimes the direct flights are also available from TIA domestic terminal. Ramechhap airport in Manthali, Ramechhap is situated at 474 m above the sea level. It takes about 4 or 4.5 hours to reach Ramechhap airport via private vehicle and even more via bus from Kathmandu.

Lukla, being a gateway to Mount Everest and Everest Base Camp short trek many trekkers and climbers approaching Everest Base Camp (EBC) and even Mt. Everest will help in surge or escalation of Ramechhap’s business mobility, social popularity and progressive economic transition.

Distance vs. Psychology

Psychology of altitude and time

Time frame of the walk and difficulty of the Everest base camp short trek depends on the altitude as well. Trekkers usually become slow while walking when the altitude rises, as the level of oxygen decreases with the increase of altitude.

Steep Climbs

Sometimes during the EBC short trek, 2 k m can feel and take longer time than a flat 6 km route. Some ways of trails started with the stairs too. While going up the stairs, trekkers feel tired and difficulty in ascending. Going down ways the trails might seem easy, but it increases stress and strain on the knee and the feet. Descending actually is very difficult than ascending.

Stunning views

Picturesque scenes and breathtaking views during the course of the EBC short trek can make a long route feel easier and satisfied with the trek.

Terrain Conditions

Terrain conditions like rocky trails, river crossings and landslide prone areas in the EBC journey are dangerous to walk through. Heavy rainfall makes the passes impassable.
