Things That Can Catch People Out
Summit day is a full 9–12 hours at extreme altitude – you’ll need reserves of grit as well as fitness.
Lukla flights are notoriously weather-dependent. Build two spare days into your international schedule just in case.
Mountain teahouses are cosy but basic. Hot showers cost extra and may run on yak-dung stoves – embrace the simplicity!
