Day 2 - Lukla to Phakding

It was time to catch a flight to one of the most dangerous airports in the world, Lukla.  The flight there was to take 35 minutes however because of bad weather we were diverted to Lamidanda. We landed on a dirt runway which was pretty cool. We stayed here for around 3 hours before the weather cleared in Lukla. Saw another plane come in and take off too.

Finally we got to Lukla the landing was awesome it is so damn steep, pilot did a great job touching it down smoothly.

After having a bite to eat we began the trek which was a pretty easy one however it did rain a fair bit along the way.  The first teahouse was pretty small with paper thin walls so you could hear every conversation.

After dinner we were pretty much buggered so went straight to bed.

Nice and cosy
