Weather and Flight Challenges on Everest Region and its solution
For the trekking on Everest Region, 90% of people take a flight to the small and adventurous airport at Lukla, which is also known as the most dangerous airport in the world. The landscape around the airport and slope runway always makes it thrilling for landing and takeoff. The biggest problem will arise when the weather is worst. The flight of Lukla mostly depends on the weather condition, which is not always clear and on our favor. After delaying the flight on the schedule, next day your turn comes only after regular flight finished. In that case, chances of fly out will be more uncertain. There was a record that for 10 days also hadn’t been a single flight at mid of the season.

Most of the travelers around the world have their job and business. You do have a limited time of the holiday. If we couldn’t back from the destination on time, we may not only lose only our international flight but also the job we are doing and loss on our business. After lots of people took a helicopter from Lukla during Everest Base Camp Trek, most of the insurance company doesn’t claim your helicopter charge for weather causes. So, before you make insurance be sure that you can claim your insurance for flight delay due to weather. Most of the people lose huge amount of money by taking a helicopter from Lukla to catch their international flight. If someone loses a huge amount than expect that makes their whole trip on the shadow.

?I am providing some solution to reduce the big losses for travelers. So your experience in Nepal would be never bad. Here are some solutions:
- Make an extra day: If you are trekking in the Everest region, make some extra day than your trekking schedule. It will help you to fly out the next day in case of flight day. Another best option is you can make a city tour after back from trekking. So, if you can’t fly out on the schedule you can fly on the next day.
?- Do insurance to claim flight delay: We may not have always enough time to make an extra day during the trek. If you are doing on a tight schedule then you can make insurance in case you couldn’t fly. You can take the helicopter and claim to insurance for it. If you do this, you don’t have to make a huge change on your schedule.

?- Choose Alternative options: For the alternative options, you must have at least an extra day. If you couldn’t make a flight on your schedule, you can start to trek down to Salleri and take a jeep to back in Kathmandu. You also can make a plan earlier to skip the flight out and choose the ground way to reduce the risk of flight.
