Lukla Airport, officially known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport, is perched at an elevation of 2,845 meters (9,334 feet) in Nepal's Himalayas and serves as the primary gateway for trekkers heading to Mount Everest. Renowned as one of the world's most dangerous airports, it features a mere 527-meter (1,729-foot) runway with a steep 12% gradient, flanked by a cliff on one end and a mountain wall on the other, demanding exceptional pilot skill for takeoffs and landings. Constructed in 1964 under the guidance of Sir Edmund Hillary, the airport was renamed in 2008 to honor both Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first climbers to summit Everest.
