That looks like one terrifying airport to fly into

I hate it in one way but love it in another way when it's some excitement to a flight like this.

Here comes a nice landing on Saba island i did a few years ago.Had a big hangover that day so it was only fun and not scary at all to land on this short runway

Had an awesome time reading your report; you are far braver than me. I was in Kathmandu for a couple of days and couldn't get myself to take the mountain flight. I did have a lovely time in Kathmandu and especially liked visiting Patan.

OUTSTANDING. To heck with worrying about English. This tr is awesome. Love the runway slanting down that looks like a road.
