Heli Lift From The World's Most Dangerous Airport - Lukla | As Extreme Weather Sweeps The Himalayas

After days of trekking and climbing in the stunning Himalayas, bad weather rolled in — and I found myself grounded in Lukla, one of the world’s most notorious airports. As clouds thickened and rain persisted, flights were canceled, I had to make a quick decision… and that’s when the heli-lift option became the only way out! It was a case of perfect timing, thousands of trekkers and climbers were stranded in Lukla for upto 5 days, some even having to cancel their expeditions. A day later, further up the Khumbu valley, a helicopter crashed in a whiteout whilst slow speed maneuvering. Luckily only the Captain was on board and he walked away with negligible injuries. This just shows how harsh the himalayas can be and how dangerous the weather can get. Heli travel is not without risk!
