Taking off from it looks like a better deal than landing on it!

@Aayamsib Yeah, this landing would be a bitch with a crosswind added too.

I would have to be sedated, to take off or land here i think :-)

[MegaGansta24]

This is impossible for a airbus a380 since the a380 is half the size of the runway XD

[Lymebay55]

Don't tell the passengers, but there's a 2000 foot sheer drop at the end of the runway.

Ya landing on lukla is crazy..the most interesting fact is the airport is very small there is barley anyting there..and when a plane takes off from kathmandu ..they activate a siren so that local people walking on the the runway are cleared offf and ...the runway is available for landing .....yes..people will be waalking around ..the runway is like ..50% road ...lol!!!! its 15 minutes flight from capital of nepal ..kathmandu..

You call that a runway? There's barely enough room to back up my Kia from the driveway.
