Lukla Altitude 2840m (Bradford 152m, Ben Nevis 1344m)
Today we start the trek for real with a gentle hike from Lukla – which means place with many goats and sheep – to Phakding. Apparently the airport has been described as “the most dangerous in the world” on account of its steep runway and hazardous weather! So definitely looking forward to a safe landing there! And hopefully a good night’s sleep in a trekking lodge.
