Trekking and mountain climbing in the Everest Region are significantly influenced by weather conditions. While we strive to schedule our trips during the most favorable times, extreme scenarios may lead to delays or cancellations of domestic flights to Lukla. In such cases, please note that additional expenses for extra days, beyond those mentioned in the itinerary, will be the responsibility of the client. However, Taktok Brothers will arrange necessary accommodations for porters and guides during extended delays.
