Lukla Airport: Why is this airport located in the lap of Mount Everest considered scary ?

What is the geography like ? Lukla Airport has been in operation since 1971. It was later renamed Tenzing-Hillary Airport in honor of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. It is 2800 meters above sea level. According to the Civil Aviation Authority, it is 527 meters long and 20 meters wide, which is shorter than other airports. As there is a short runway, ‘overshoot’ is not possible there. Experts say that it would be difficult to land the same flight. How is it different from others ? Experts say that if the landing is not considered safe in the final case, the airport should have a place where the aircraft can be flown straight ahead or left or right. ‘Overshoot’ is considered to be the general standard required for an airport. But Lukla has not reached that standard. Due to the short runway, the airport has been constructed in a different way to speed up the flight and stop the landing. Its lower part and upper part are at an angle of about 12 degrees. It makes a difference

Deserted Mount Everest, many names and history of climbing

The first attempt to climb the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, was made in 1921 by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Howard Barry of the British Army. Especially in 1855, when the height of the mountain was discovered to be 8,040 meters, British and other European climbers began expeditions to conquer the mountain. Even though the real and special name of Everest from the beginning was Chomolungma, yes, it was known by more than one and a half dozen names including Devdhunga, Bhairavnath, Chari Lameni, Mitiguti, Third-Pole, The Goddess Mother of the Earth, Cha-Po-Lungma. Since Nepal was not allowed to climb Mt. Everest at that time, the British team first climbed Mt. Everest in 1921 after getting permission from the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet in 1920. Thus, between 1921-38, Mount Everest was climbed twice and Rekhi (measurement) was done. Team member Dr. AM Callus died. In 2020, Nepal and China measured the height of Mount Everest by 86 centimeters. Now the height of Everest is 8848.86
