The options to get inn and out to Everest has two, either you can fly from Kathmandu to Lukla or go by bus to Place called Jiri and walk from there. If you fly to Lukla and come out by flight from Lukla is still no worries to encounter Maobadi,You can not even smell them up to Lukla, But If you go from Jiri definately, you will encounter them almost everyday below Lukla, They have now rised their activities asking donation from Local traders, people, Essential carried Porters and Trekkers.They have just looted the drugs of Namche Healthpost carried by porters from Jiri in Nunthala 2 weeks ago. Because now they are getting medicinal starvation.I do not know what will happen in the future, it may get better or worse because now newly formed Government is trying to have successful and effective dialouge with Maobadi.
But No worries, You will need to pay at least 500 to 1000 Nepali rupees PP still and open your way for your whole trek. They have never targeted the tourist with physical attack.

Wish you all the best for your intended trek
