My son and my Down Syndrome grandson,flew into Lukla and with a climbing team they hiked 70 miles to the Base Camp at EVEREST and back to Lukla in about two weeks ...!!! He was 15 at the time...!!! Eli Reimer...!!!
These are very skilled pilots, on final approach you have to land, there's no going around, they have to nail it the first time and they always do. God bless them.
Whow! I am thrilled every time I see Lukla airport in the heart of the mountains. Small and simple. Notice that the airstrip is uphill on landing to cut out speed and downhill on take of, to add speed faster using gravity!
