Again, bad weather at Katmandu. But expected to be clear at Lukla, my next destination. This airfield is one of the most challenging in the world, and last stop for those who try to conquer the Everest, as well as other nearby peaks. I decided to depart on IFR, to land on VFR. And I won't fly alone, since 5 hikers will join me.
The landing was indeed quite challenging, but successful.
Now, I'm getting ready for the next leg, that will take me to Paro. But, as I did in the previous one, I intend to fly over the Himalaya, approaching Mount Everest and other iconic peaks.
