Lukla Airport Webcam

Lukla Airport

Lukla Airport (LUA), located at 2,845 meters (9,334 feet) in Nepal, is one of the highest and most dangerous airports in the world, with a short, 527-meter (1,729 feet) runway that is sloped at a steep 12.5%. It serves as the primary gateway to the Everest region, handling over 80,000 passengers annually, primarily using small aircraft like the Twin Otter. Built in 1964 with the help of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, it connects Lukla to Kathmandu and other regional airports. Due to its challenging weather and terrain, the airport has experienced several accidents, adding to its reputation for being a risky yet vital hub for trekkers and locals alike.
