Hike the Everest trail in Nepal

Important Notes

Fly into and out of Kathmandu Airport (KTM).

Please note domestic flights in Nepal only allow 5kg of carry-on luggage and 10kg of checked luggage allowance. If you have more than that, you’ll need to leave what you don’t need back at the hotel in Kathmandu.

Please be aware, the mountain climate in Nepal is volatile and it’s common for flights here to be cancelled due to poor weather conditions. If that happens en-route to Lukla or back, we’ll just have to kick our heels up and be patient/flexible.

Please book a late afternoon flight out from Kathmandu airport on Day 13, to make room for any delays that may affect flights in from Lukla the day before. Anytime after 4pm on Day 13 should be fine.

Daily treks will be preceded by a team briefing from your Flask Pack guide and assistant leader.

You will be expected to carry a small backpack with valuables, water, sun cream and other essentials. Your porters will carry the larger rucksacks from place to place. Each porter carries the luggage of two people, at a maximum of 20kg. Therefore, your own big bag should not weigh more than 10kg.

A very good level of fitness is required for this adventure. You will be trekking on hilly terrain, generally on well-defined paths, walking anywhere between 5-7 hours per day, on average about 6 hours a day. Altitude may exceed 5545 metres. Equally, distances and times will vary from group to group. It’s not a race and we’ll keep to a comfortable pace with lots of breaks along the way Please check with a Flash Pack team member if you’re unsure about any of this.

Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control. From time to time we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh

All foreign nationals (except Indian nationals) require a visa to enter Nepal. Visas are obtainable from embassies abroad, or on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport and at some land borders (including borders with India and Tibet). Please bring two passport-sized photos for your visa and permitFor this trip we have included the most comfortable hotels in this region. They are comfortable for the area, and certainly offer more amenities than camping or very simple teahouses, but they are also quite basic properties. While they do have hot water, this can be in limited supply and can sometimes run out. In most of the hotels, only the communal areas are heated, with electric blankets provided in the rooms. WiFi is available in some of the hotels, but often only in the communal areas and the signal can be spotty. We do believe though that these hotels provide the most comfortable way to see this incredible and remote part of the world.
