Looks like a small version of Hong Kong where you drop through the gap in the mountains and then look into the windows of high rise accommodation before the wheels touch down. Good video.
 
When my son was in his early teens he had the opportunity to go on a school trip to Nepal and which included trek to Everest base camp. He was always a fearful flyer. We thought it best not to tell him before he went he would be flying into Luka airport. Was that cruel?

Just preparing him for manhood!

(So, how did he feel after landing at Lukla?)
 
Experienced Hong Kong from a passenger seat in a 747... once.

Brother in Law did that a couple years ago. Some one posted in the comment:

pilot: "I'm going around."

Tower: "Ok, cleared to die"

He said the worst part about it was there was a mix up before he got there. He had to wait with one teacher (all the rest had gone on an earlier flight) for two hours before flying out. He tried to distract himself by taking photos out the window but he said he felt sick at the thought. He's a lot better at flying now though - kill or cure?
