7Tenzing-Hillary Airport – Lukla, Nepal

Known as one of the most challenging airports in the world, Lukla Airport serves as the gateway to Mount Everest.

Nestled in the Himalayas at 2,860 meters (9,383 feet), the runway is short, sloped, and surrounded by towering peaks. For trekkers, the landing offers breathtaking views of snow-covered mountains, valleys, and remote villages. Though heart-pounding, it’s also one of the most scenic introductions to the adventure of a lifetime.
