Culturally, the Arun Trek is very interesting - moving from Sherpa through to Rai villages, then down to Chhetri and Brahmin villages. Despite the chain of basic lodges, impromptu lodgings can be found in keeping with traditional hospitality throughout Eastern Nepal. Only one village, probably Brahmin, insisted that I should continue on my way, and would provide me with no food or lodging - otherwise you will usually find helpful and generous people when you need them.

  • Lukla Airport – Gateway to Himalayas
    Lukla Airport – Gateway to Himalayas Lukla Airport, located at 2,846 m altitude, is an extreme airport that provides the thrilling flight experience from Kathmandu to Lukla and vice versa. Known as Tenzing Hillary Airport, it lies in Lukla, Khumbu, in Solukhumbu District of Province No. 1 or Eastern Nepal. Being the gateway to Everest Base Camp, Lukla is one of the most extreme airports of the world, having runway at 9,400 feet on top of a 2,000 feet cliff. Flights from Kathmandu to Lukla takes place every day during daylight hours if weather favors flying. There is frequent rainfall in Lukla while the Kathmandu is shining brightly, making visibility problems, causing delay and cancellation of flights. The plane crash records make Lukla a frightening flight. Seven crashes have occurred after 2000, that have killed more than fifty passengers and crew. Having no safety cushion if the landing is missed or in case of an equipment failure, Lukla- bound flights do not have excellent safety. If you are planning to take a flight to Lukla, keep extra days included as the cancellation of the trip is not uncommon. The airplane's alternative is the helicopter that you can charter for $1,500 to $2,500, which will carry 5 to 6 people. But helicopter crashes are also recorded. In 2013, a helicopter crashed that killed one passenger. The beautiful Everest Base Camp trail makes trekker take Lukla-bound flights. If you are a die-hard trekker, you can trek instead of flying, which will add another ten days to your trip.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Sagarmatha National Park and Buffer Zone (SNPBZ) in the Everest region in Nepal is among the most popular destinations for trekking tourism in Nepal. The dramatic growth of the tourism in- dustry has increased pressures on the environment and the National Park is heavily affected by the rapidly growing waste issue. Besides, major mass movements play an important role in the Himalaya and have been observed in SNPBZ. Also, seasonal monsoon floods, debris flows, rock falls, landslides and the creation of glacial lake outburst floods are frequently occurring in the re- gion. This paper explores the reciprocal interactions between the geo-environment and solid waste management in Everest’s SNPBZ. Therefore, geological characteristics and geomorphologi- cal processes, especially the two large rockslides in Lukla and Khumjung, as well as their conse- quences for rock quality, climatic and hydrologic conditions, are analyzed and simultaneously connected to the rapidly growing tourism-induced waste issue.

    Glacial Lakes and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods in Nepal THE WORLD BANK 1 Note This assessment of glacial lakes and glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) risk in Nepal was conducted with the aim of developing recommendations for adaptation to, and mitigation of, GLOF hazards (potentially dangerous glacial lakes) in Nepal, and contributing to developing an overall strategy to address risks from GLOFs in the future. The assessment is also intended to provide information about GLOF risk assessment methodology for use in GLOF risk management in Nepal. The methodology that was developed and applied in the assessment can also be broadly applied throughout the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region. The assessment has been completed through activities carried out in collaboration with national partners, which include government and non-government institutions as well as academic institutions and universities.
