Lukla Airport, Nepal.......The gateway to Everest

Lukla Airport April 2010. ... Elevation AMSL, 9,383 ft / 2,860 m


Most people that trek into the Everest region come through this spectacular airstrip to begin their journey into the mountains.  While it can frequently be closed due to poor weather, it saves several days walking as the nearest road is about 4 days walk away!! but has the reputation of being named as "the most dangerous airport in the world".
