Are you game for this ride? The Lukla airstrip was built in the 1960s under instructions from Sir Edmund Hillary. When using the runway there is no room for error. It is 351m long (1150ft) and rises over 30m (100ft) from the bottom to the top, giving it an angle of about 10 degrees. At the end of the runway their is an abyss to a valley 2500 feet below.
