The flights may be delayed for several hours or pushed back by a day or more, depending on the circumstances. Although this is rare, it can happen even during the best trekking seasons. As you know, high altitude weather conditions can be difficult to predict.

If you choose to go this route, we can arrange everything upon request. http://www.nepalguideinfo.com/Everest-Base-Camp.php http://www.hikehimalayas.com/trekking-in-nepal/trekking-region/everest-region/everest-base-camp.htm http://www.nepalguideinfo.com/ Email-:sanjib-adhikari@hotmail.com https://www.facebook.com/Independenttrekkinguidenepal?fref=ts
