A small airport in the town of Lukla which at an elevation of 9,100 ft from sea level has a runway length of just 460 meters. What makes this runway really dangerous is the short length and the strong gushes of wind that blow from the nearby Himalayas, which make it extremely difficult to land straight and break before the runway ends.
