Lukla, which stands at an altitude of 2860 meters, is the starting point of all trekking activities in the Everest region, thus earning it the name the gateway to Mount Everest. It is also worth mentioning that Lukla is home to one of the world’s most dangerous airports, often called Tenzing Hillary Airport. A few things that make the airport quite dangerous are its difficult terrain, it’s very short runway, and the 9,000-foot drop-off at the end of the runway. However, you don’t have to worry too much.
