Everest mountaineer Tembachiri Sherpa said that the tourists who came to the Khumbu region during the summer have difficulty even getting accommodation in the hotel. Amrit Magar, in-charge of Tara Air Lukla, informed that the number of tourists coming to Khumbu has increased due to the increase in air flights to Lukla with favorable weather.
