Hundreds of trekkers stranded in Himalaya due to bad weather

It happens every year again... Bad weather or technical problems keep travelers waiting in Lukla or Kathmandu for one or more days. It's a very wise idea to take that into account if you're heading to Everest region. Some say, you need to save 4 spare days to cope with delays. It's not a bad idea at all. Another idea is to have your flight tickets booked way before, so you will get an early flight (6.30u am). Or... plan to walk back from Lukla to Jir in three to five days, that's a great way, too. Anyway, Lukla is not a very good place to wait for a week, especially if you have an international flight waiting for you. Psychologically speaking, it's veeery interesting!
