The airport of Lukla is considered as one of the most dangerous airports of the world, that is why people do not want to fly to Lukla instead they want to trek from Phplu and start the Everest base camp trek overland. Even though, Kathmandu to Lukla flight is not that scary, people do not like this flight, they often choose a longer trek over flying to Lukla. Phaplu Everest base camp Trek has many bright sides from an exploration prospective as well.

But soon in the future the road connectivity will go all the way to Lukla and trekking to Everest base camp can be either overland or by air; but both of them will start from the village of Lukla at the Khumbu Himalaya range of Nepal, in near future.

For now, for the phaplu Everest base camp trek – one drives from Kathmandu to Salleri by tourist bus. Also, there are jeeps from Kathmandu to salleri. Salleri is the capital city of Solukhumbu district, whereas Everest base camp lies in this district of Solukhumbu.

How would Everest base camp trek without flight to Lukla comes true?

The Government of Nepal is planning to connect all the headquarters of the district to the capital by road connectivity. Because of this plan of the government, places like Salleri are getting connected with the black topped road. Because of this we can drive to phaplu/salleri from Kathmandu by jeep or by bus.

This ride is about 6-8 hours. Till 2019 there is no more option than starting trek from Phaplu, even though there are roads till Adheri village – these are seasonal roads. The Jeep goes all the way to Adhere and shortens a day’s trek but it is not an easy road, I rather prefer to start to walk from Phaplu itself.
