I'm set to leave today from the capital of Kathmandu to Lukla. I'm not quite sure how my internet situation is going to be when I get there, so I've pre-scheduled a few things to post for you in the meantime.
Lukla is one of the most dangerous airports in the world, with the runway on a 12% grade - built into the side of a Himalayan peak. I'm sure I'll come out alive, though. There are 60-70 flights in and out of there per day!
Everyone who climbs Mt Everest from the Nepal side starts in Lukla.
It was confirmed the other day that - by at least one account - Kathmandu is the most polluted city in the world. I'm so ready to be up in the mountains with clean air!
I'm sorry I haven't been able to send any photos yet. I promise I'm working on it!
