The Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, Nepal is without a doubt the scariest airport I’ve ever flown into and/or out of. The History Channel ranked the Lukla Airport the most extreme airport in the world. Sadly it has had it’s fair share of deadly accidents, as you can see from the video below. Bad visibility, tall mountains surrounding it, a short runway, and an abrupt cliff edge start to this runway make for some nervous take-offs and landings. Unless you want to trek for 4 days, you have no choice but to fly in here when embarking on an Everest Base Camp Trek.
