7:Lukla Airport (Nepal)
A huge mountain on one end, a thousand meter drop on the other.
And it's at 2900 meters elevation, so you don't exactly have full
power. Lukla Airport is a small airport
in the Town of Lukla in eastern Nepal. In January 2008, the
government of Nepal announced that the airport would be renamed
in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary[1], the first person to reach
the summit of Mount Everest, who passed away on January 11,
2008. The airport is quite popular as Lukla is the place where
most people start their trek to climb Mount Everest.
