3 April: Flight to Lukla Aiport!


[2860m above sea level]
Made it to the airport went through all the checks which were questionable and very random.  We did manage to get on the first flights and boarded the small plane complete with air hostess who supplies cotton wool and a boiled sweet.  Views were spectacular and first glimpses of Himalaya mountain range.  Landed in Lukla airport with no issues only when you get out of the plane do you see the runway and the planes taking off and landing….crazy!  Time breakfast at Paradise Lodge where regular trekkers are greeted by a familiar face. Temperatures have dropped there is now a chill in the air which disappears as the sun comes out.  First very long trek starts past Phuk Ding and onto Monjo staying at Hill Top Lodge.
