Please note that often the Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu flight gets delayed by a few hours or may even be canceled for one, two, or more days due to unfavorable weather conditions. Such conditions may arise even in the best seasons.

The optional activities may include visiting places/landmarks of your choice, adventure sports, shopping, etc.
