✈️ Step 1: Book Your Flight from the USA to Nepal
Alright, let's start with the basics, getting into Nepal. There are no direct flights from the USA to Nepal, but you can easily connect via Doha, Dubai, or Delhi.
Most Common Routes:
New York (JFK) → Doha → Kathmandu
Los Angeles (LAX) → Dubai → Kathmandu
Chicago (ORD) → Delhi → Kathmandu
Pro Tip: Try to land in Kathmandu at least 1-2
days before your trek. Trust me, you’ll need a day or two to rest, adjust to
the altitude, and sort out any last-minute preparation before heading to the
mountains.
📅 Step 2: Best Time to Trek Everest Base Camp
If you’re coming from the US, you probably want great
