The start of our Trek: Lukla

I had to jump right to the start of our trek!


We landed in Lukla.  Lukla is a town in the Khumbu area of the Solukhumbu District in the Sagarmatha Zone of north-eastern Nepal. Situated at 2,860 metres (9,383 ft) . It is the most popular place for trekkers to start their climb to base camp. The airport is also one of the world's most dangerous airports! After experiencing the landing and the take off, I can see why!
