Re: Everest- Trekking

Hi Jochen,
we did the Everest Trek past December and had a time schedule like following: Day 1: Arrival in Lukla Day 2: Lukla-Bengkar Day 3: Bengkar-Namche Day 4: Namche Rest Day Day 5: Namche-Divuche Day 6: Divuche-Dingboche Day 7: Dingboche Rest Day Day 8: Dingboche-Lobuche Day 9: Lobuche-Kalar Pattar-Pheriche Day 10: Pheriche-Namche Day 11: Namche-Lukla. D12-14: Got stuck in Lukla D 14: Flight back to KTM

If you intend to visit EBC you need only one day more to Gorak Shep and from there to Base Camp and return, so all together it�s 12 days walking from and to Lukla.

The flights from Lukla to KTM need to be planned with extra time and avoid a return flight on the same day as your intercontinental flight back home in any case. Delays and cancellations are daily business depending on the weather and you might get stuck for days. Thick fog, heavy clouds or smoggy conditions in Kathmandu can lead to problems for days. Sometimes Airlines (Yeti Air, Sita Air) fly helicopters instead of small planes as they are easier to handle in bad weather conditions but you can never be sure.
The Gokyo Trek is not much better as it starts and ends in Lukla as well. Not the EBC trek is the time consuming problem but the Lukla risk is the point you can not calculate.
I did make a ticket and then bitstamp trade checked Twitter and it seems many people have the same ‘now verified but still frozen’ problem.
