  • Home
  • Blog

Kathmandu Phaplu- Nunthala Jeep Ride is the best alternative to escape Lukla flight from Kathmandu. Lukla flight has long been troubling the trekkers who are undertaking their Everest Base Camp Trek. The cancellation and postponement of Lukla flight due to poor visibility is one of the biggest problems among the trekkers that make the entire Everest Base Camp Trek nasty.

Everest Base Camp Trek is every trekker’s dream. They try their best and ready to lose any cost to step their footsteps at Everest Base Camp, the highest base camp of the world. But everybody’s dream of stepping their footsteps at Everest Base Camp cannot be fulfilled easily. There three ways of getting Everest Base Camp. The first one is fly to Lukla and trek to Everest Base Camp via Namche, Tengboche and Lobuche. Secondly, Kathmandu Phaplu-Nunthala Jeep Ride and Trek to Phakding- Namche- Tengboche , Lobuche and Everest Base Camp and the third or the last one is Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. Even Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour doesn’t let us to step at Everest Base Camp; it only takes us to Kalapatthar.

Kathmandu Phaplu- Nunthala Jeep Ride is one of the examples of extension of rural roads in rural parts of Nepal. Previously, the road only would take us to Phaplu, Jiri or Shivalaya. But now, recently, the road has been extended to Nunthala from Phaplu. Actually, the jeep ride from Kathmandu directly doesn’t take us to Nunthala. We first drive to Phaplu from Kathmandu and change another for Nunthala. From Nunthala, it is two days trek to Phakding then to Namche Bazar.
