  • Come for a ride into Lukla, Nepal!
    We are taking cargo - food and drink, up to Lukla for the many trekkers making their hike to Base Camp or attempting to summit Mt. Everest.
    This flight departed from Ramechapp, as that's closer than Kathmandu, and has road access. Those needing supplies will have it trucked into Ramechapp and we fly it to Lukla. It's a lot cheaper than having flown direct from Kathmandu.
    It is a lot of fun flying amongst the Himalayas (on a good day!) and the views are amazing!
    Note: This flight is pre covid
    Huge thanks to Capt. Sudhan KC for help with this video!
    Enjoy!

    This has to be one of the best landing videos on Lukla in this platform. Finally, a real pilot sharing his experience and calmly going through the process of flying to this airport. With so many bogus videos on Lukla around on UA-cam, it's refreshing to find one that's not. It's almost criminal that UA-cam does not promote this as often. Please make a follow on video dispelling the mythical status of flying there and bring some sanity to this discussion.

    Such a crazy approach. I am a pilot myself and i felt goosebumps by watching this. You literally fly towards a wall of mountains, you have to fly an increased approach speed because of the altitude and you know at a certain point, that the landing has to be made no matter what, no chance to initiate a safe go around a few miles from the treshhold, crazy. 100% respect.

    I flew in to Lukla in 1983. Even more thrilling was the take off as the plane dropped a bit after it left the runway. I could see the remains of planes that had crashed in the valley below. I met Hillary in Kumjung where he was building a school and joked about the crashed planes I saw. I didn’t know that his wife and daughter perished there a few years earlier.

      I flew into Lukla in 1979 and there were the remains of three aircraft.

    • @davidmacpherson8710
      @davidmacpherson8710 Рік тому +9

      Small correction. Hillary's wife Louise and his youngest daughter Belinda were killed in a plane crash less than a mile after taking off from Kathmandu on the way to Phaplu. The NZ pilot was reckless and failed to do a pre-flight. Tragic.

    My husband is a charter pilot in Canada who has flown all over western Canada in to some remote places in the Rockies & I thought that was tricky! This is amazing & well narrated! Amazing view! I will pass on a trip to Lukla - I don’t enjoy flying all that much!

    • @sailaab
      @sailaab 2 роки тому +2

      Haha😊 oh but you must (try).. you'd enjoy.
      (ummm.. let sir not be in the crew and have him accompany you as a passenger. So that ALL of you/family can cherish it).
      Else him flying you in the Rockies or here in South Asia... might lead to taunting or teasing.. should it not go 100% as expected.
      .

      Yes, I too am a lot nervous whenever a near dear one is on a flight or I myself have to...

    I flew into and out of Lula in the early '80s in a Twin Otter. The strip was gravel then, and the door between the passenger section and the flight deck was open. it was almost as exciting as landing in Ketchikan Alaska in a Truman Goose before the airport was built; we landed on the water, sploosh!

    Great explanation. I was always curious to see how exactly the procedures are for Lukla and it turns out it's very similar to the flying I do here in Papua as well. Although the strips I fly to don't tend to be as busy as what you've got in Lukla. As you rightly said this is some of the most rewarding flying you will ever do.
    Keep up the good work. And safe travels.
