Xena, visit Kathmandu and places surrounding the city. Airports are safe and places very beautiful as well.

Also, I thought QAWS mascot will one day opt to reach Mt. Everest as well. Looks like he would be scared as well now

No, I don't plan on climbing Everest in this life time, so doubt I would be landing there....

but I can also not visit places like St Barts or St Maarteens, now.... :-( and they look so beautiful:-(

So the thrill and excitement of climbing Everest starts from the runway....

Hope people are not thinking that this is only the airport in Nepal...some conversation above might mislead

saad, that was Lukla airport, not KTM :-)

Xena, you would need to land in that airport only if you wish to view or climb Mt. Everest :-)

Landing in an airport with a short runway can always be risky.Interesting video though.

the existence of that short runway is coz of expert pilots... their strong vision from the point of landing towards the end... marvelous!

edifis, would still have to travel...Nepal is small country but not so small for every city to be accessible from India in an autorickshaw :-)
