  • Lukla Airport is one of the busiest airports in Nepal. This airport is situated at an altitude of 2,845 meters above sea level in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It serves as the gateway to the Everest region and is the starting point for treks to Mount Everest Base Camp. In this video, we can see the plane landing and takeoff at Lukla airport which is the world's most dangerous airport due to its location in the Himalayas and its short, sloping runway.
    The airport's runway is quite short, measuring about 527 meters (1,729 feet) in length, and it has a significant slope, making it one of the most difficult runways in the world. The runway is built into the mountainside, and its steep incline helps planes slow down upon landing and gain speed during takeoff.
    Lukla Airport primarily serves as a domestic airport, connecting Kathmandu (Tribhuvan International Airport) with Lukla. It is a crucial transportation link for trekkers and climbers heading to the Everest region.
    Tenzing-Hillary airport is named after Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, who were the first climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 1953.
    Weather Challenges in Lukla Airport is prone to adverse weather conditions, including fog, high winds, and low visibility, which can lead to flight delays and cancellations. Due to these challenges, it's essential for travelers to be flexible with their plans when flying to or from Lukla.
    The airport plays a significant role in the tourism industry of Nepal, as it provides access to the Khumbu region, which is a popular destination for trekkers, mountaineers, and adventure enthusiasts. Many treks in the Everest region start or end at Lukla.

    Lukla Airport is definitely one of a kind airport surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The mountains are stunning most definitely so. Love the view, it is spectacular. ♥️♥️
    As beautiful it is, this airport is also extremely dangerous and difficult to land a plane and yet, these pilots make these landings very easy!
    Much respect for all these pilots, they do a superb job landing these planes.
    Congratulations to all of them on a job well done.
    Bravo, bravo 👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌👍👍👍🙏🙏

    I flew in and out of Lulka around Xmas 1980. The run way was just a dirt pot-holed track littered with crahed aircraft on both sides. Ripped off wings were propped up to form the boundary fence, and fuselages were used for accomodation and firewood storage. Oil streamed all the way out of one of the wings when we flew back to Kathmandu, and the internal plastic ceiling and overheads collapsed on our heads as we sped off down the runway. The locals thought nothing of it, as they just pushed it all back up again.
