Getting in or out of the mountains can sometime be very challenging.
We have a lot of control over our service on the trek and in the lodges we use, however, there are things we do not have control over.  Getting in or out of the mountains can sometime be very challenging. Some seasons we have to use helicopters on a lot of our trips into Lukla 2,850m/ 9,350 feet or even below Lukla in Surke 2,300m/ 7,546 feet. We have had times where half of the group makes it in to Lukla, and half does not!  Sometimes one helicopter will make it only as far as Surke.  All of the flights and helicopters are done by line of sight.  So if the weather is bad, you may not be able to fly or may not be able to fly all the way to Lukla.
