However, he will try his best to ensure that the trip runs accordingly to the stated plan but be prepared for flexibility if necessary. For Everest Region Trek, the most important factor affecting the trip is Flight cancellation or delays in/out of Lukla due to weather conditions. Hence, we always suggest coming with at least a day spare to overcome any eventualities. The spare day in Kathmandu will be kept free and you can use it as you like. In case of flight cancellation, it will be rescheduled for the following day which completely depends on the availability of seats.  Alternatively, we can also hire a helicopter to fly in/out of Lukla. The cost depends on group size.  And all the expenses after delayed or cancellation of the trip will be added and need to pay on your own. To cover this helicopter flight expenses, you are kindly requested to come with travel insurance that covers the flight cancellation for a minimum of US$- 500 for a day so that you could claim for the flight cancellation once returned from the trip, and we will make documentation for this as per your requirements to submit to your insurance.
