The little runway there is totally insane and it looks like its almost impossible for a plane to land or take off there. The biggest plane that can fly there is one that can hold 19 people total.
So now it is Monday evening and I will be on a plane back to Minnesota on Friday. Tomorrow ill be doing some mountain biking and then possible some whitewater rafting later in the week. There are many things to do and see here. There is also a Hindu festival of Dasine that goes for more than a week which has a lot of activities surrounding it.
I hope you've had as much fun following along as I've had keeping you posted.
The first picture is a 7 year old girl that was taking a reading break outside her house and staying warm in the sun.
The next is a typical lunch meal in the mountains of noodle soup with vegetables. Very tasty.
The next are the two porters that helped carry all of our stuff for the whole trip. They would carry up to 80pounds of gear with a strap on their head. Very strong guys. Their names are Lakba and Nema. Both are 21 years old.
The final is a picture of the Lukla airport and the tiny little space where they load and unload planes extremely fast! Usually a plane will take off in no more than 5 minutes after it lands.
Back in a few!
