Kathmandu, Nepal – October 17, 2024
Nepal Hiking Team would like to inform all travelers of flight disruptions between Lukla, Ramechhap, and Kathmandu due to unfavorable weather conditions. These issues are affecting both passengers waiting for flights and those with travel plans in the coming days.
Weather and Travel Update of Lukla
