As we recommend, you should stay at Manthali if you have an early morning flight to Lukla. But the question is are there sufficient accommodations in Manthali?
Manthali isn’t a popular tourist destination. It is not a highly facilitated place too. The facilities of accommodation at Manthali are limited and the facilities are also basic. In this Spring, due to the diversion of Lukla flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, Manthali will receive a lot of travelers. Also, there will be flight crews and staffs who will be staying there. So, the limited accommodation facilities here may not be enough.
Instead of staying in Manthali itself, you can leave Kathamndu early morning like at 3 or 4 AM to catch the same day flight to Lukla.
