Overview

Khare to Lukla Helicopter Flight

 

Overview

The Khare to Lukla Helicopter Flight is a vital link for those concluding their Mera Peak expedition. Khare (5,045m) is the final village before the high camp, and while the trek back to Lukla is beautiful, it involves several days of steep descents through the Hinku Valley and a grueling final climb over the Zatrwa La Pass (4,610m). This flight provides a swift transfer, allowing you to bypass the physical strain of the return trek and reach the amenities of Lukla in comfort.

 

Departure Schedule & Flight Details

Flights from Khare are weather-dependent and are best conducted in the early morning before valley winds gain strength.
