Know why it is so dangerous to fly in the sky of Nepal

Nepal is a small country situated in the lap of the Himalayas, which is full of natural beauty. Its topography, low visibility and ever-changing weather conditions create such phenomena. Which is one of the most difficult areas in the world to fly an airplane. The country has several so-called hard-to-access airstrips that are cut into mountains. The runways at such airstrips are very short and there is a lack of adequate space. According to a Bloomberg report, Tenzing-Hillary Airport, located northeast of Lukla, is considered one of the most haunted airports in the world. There is only one airstrip, sloping down towards the valley.
