The flight to Lukla

After a day of preparation we finally arrive at Kathmandu Airport getting ready for the three Lukla flihts that Bhai has somehow arranged - he must have amazing influence as the Lukla flights have been moved. The threee flights took an hour or so to collect all the runners, support staff and bags, It was fantastic to be in the mountain air! All 3 flights had stunning views of the mountains. The Lukla flight is always as experience and despite some alarming turbulence over the main (and critical) ridge, all 3 arrived safely and without too much delay.

A welcome cup of tea preceded the begining of the trek to Phadking at 2610m.
