Kathmandu To Salleri-phaplu Drop

If you're planning to trek to Everest Base Camp through a less crowded, more scenic route, Salleri and Phaplu are the perfect starting points. Easy Transport Nepal offers a dependable and comfortable Kathmandu to Salleri/Phaplu drop service by private jeep or vehicle.

This service is ideal for those avoiding Lukla flights or seeking a more gradual altitude gain. We ensure that your long road journey is safe, smooth, and well-supported.

Why Book a Kathmandu to Salleri/Phaplu Drop?

Many trekkers prefer the roadway approach to Everest to minimize costs or avoid flight cancellations to Lukla. Salleri and nearby Phaplu serve as alternative gateways to the Everest Base Camp Trek via Jiri, Ringmo, and Nunthala.

Here's why this service is beneficial:

  • Bypass Lukla flights, which are often delayed or canceled

  • Enjoy a scenic drive through Nepal’s mid-hill landscapes

  • Ideal for trekkers who want to acclimatize slowly

  • Convenient for budget-conscious travelers and private groups

  • Door-to-door pick-up from your hotel or Kathmandu Airport

With our Kathmandu to Salleri/Phaplu transfer, your Everest adventure starts with confidence.
