Monsoon, landslide and mountain-flight planning
During monsoon, allow more time on highways and do not assume a road shown as open will be fast. For Lukla, Jomsom and other mountain flights, protect the schedule with spare nights and keep medication, documents and warm layers in hand luggage. A weather cancellation is an operational possibility, not automatically a failure by the operator.
Permits, rules and closures
- Check current TIMS and guide requirements for the exact trekking route.
- Check restricted-area permits with the Department of Immigration and a registered agency.
- Check national-park or conservation-area entry and any seasonal closure before entering.
- Ask the agency to record the source and date of any rule that affects your booking.
How to use this page
- Open the official source links and record the time you checked them.
- Ask the airline, bus operator, guide or hotel about the last operational update for your exact route.
- Keep a re-routing budget and one or two flexible nights.
- If a strike or political disruption is reported, follow official local advice and do not travel into a known unsafe situation.
