Thanks for your comment, Francis. The Sherpa people are lovely and it’s certainly worth visiting them. I not sure I’ve met a kinder more gentle people anywhere.

Lukla’s pilots are experts, but there are real hazards to landing there, mostly related to the weather (wind and fog) and the inability to steer out of a bad landing.
