Flying Kathmandu to Lukla [03:09]
Our flight from Kathmandu to Lukla during our trip to Nepal 2009/2010. The landing at Lukla (Tenzing-Hillary Airport) is known to be one of the most dangerous in the world. Due to the terrain, there is no prospect of a successful go-around. There is high terrain immediately after the northern end of the runway and a steeply angled drop, of about 2000 m (6600 ft) at the southern end of the runway, into the valley below.

The heavenly flight, Delhi to Kathmandu [01:01]
Air transport is all important to Nepal (since it is a landlocked country) and has been largely developed since 1953, first by the Indian Air Lines, and subsequently in 1959 by the Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation (RNAC) with internal services starting with Kathmandu as the hub linking with many towns and cities within Nepal. Gradually, it spread to Indian and other international destinations. Now, Nepal boasts of 44 airports throughout the country. The main international airport serving Kathmandu and indeed Nepal is the Tribhuvan International Airport, located about six kilometres from the city center in the Kathmandu valley. Operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal[88] it has two terminals, one domestic and one international. At present, about 22 international airlines connect Nepal to various other destinations in Asia and the Middle East, connected to cities such as Delhi, Kolkata, Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Dhaka, Islamabad, Karachi, Paro, Lhasa, Chengdu and Guangzhou. A recent extension to the international terminal has made the distance to the airplanes shorter and in October 2009 it became possible to fly directly to Kathmandu from Amsterdam by Arkefly. Regionally, several Nepalese airlines operate from the city including Agni Air, Buddha Air, Cosmic Air, Gorkha Airlines, Nepal Airlines and Yeti Airlines connecting Kathmandu to many other major towns across Nepal.
