Re: World's most dangerous airport? Would you land here? Lukla, Nepal

PortMoresby ·
Your pictures remind me very much of the Shimla Airport, same end of runway in space, same commitment required by pilot and passengers alike. The plane was tiny, I sat immediately behind the pilot, a Sikh with headphones perched atop his turban rather than over his ears, unique in my experience. The view was a bit too immediate for my liking but we made it off just fine and bounced in the heat all the way to Delhi. Thanks for the memory, DrF.

I try not to let any aspect of travel faze me, but I'm perfectly happy to have watched the video and call it a day on that one!

Introduction to the Khumbu

The Khumbu is an interesting and mountainous part of Nepal. It is road-less and to go anywhere you need to walk and carry what you need with you.

World's most dangerous airport? Would you land here? Lukla, Nepal

 I've had some gut-wrenching plane landings (and take-offs) in my days, but few compare with Lukla airport in Nepal.
