Most of the flights to Lukla will commence from Ramechhap until further notice to avoid the heavy traffic congestion in Kathmandu airport.

Forget Everest, we’re talking plummeting towards a sparkling lake with your stomach in your throat, then erupting into delirious laughter as the wind kisses your cheeks.

More than just a zipline, it was a feeling of freedom. Gliding above the water, surrounded by nature, I felt connected to everything. It was like a small moment of transformation. Thank you, Kulekhani, for this beautiful experience.
“My first zipline experience, and wow! My heart was in my throat at first, but then… pure magic! Soaring over that lake, feeling the wind, seeing Kathmandu in the distance… incredible! I flew, everyone should try it!
