Gareth & Alisha - Hunting Yeti
Scariest. Flight. Ever.
We took a flight (via a Dornier 228 if you are interested) from Kathmandu to Lukla. Never before have I seen a grown man fill three (yes, three) sick bags. Fortunately this man was not me...
The flight had to be delayed by three hours due to weather conditions, so that gives you an idea of the turbulence encountered :)
The photo maybe doesn't do the drop-off justice, the end of that tarmac is followed by a sheer drop, so the plane has to pretty much fly directly at the mountainside and hope the pilot has judged it right.
From Lukla airport we filled up on veg curry and started trekking.
