Flying to Lukla

Two weeks ago I flew out twice of Kathmandu with Agni Air, each time on a Dornier 9N-AHE. The first one landed back in Kathmandu while the second made the rather scary landing in Lukla. This morning I flew back from Lukla in one of those.

Considering that this happened 2 months ago, I was a little concerned, but aware that the authorities would probably be a little more cautious.

It's a tiny plane that takes about 14 people at one time. There's even a flight attendant onboard who gives out cotton balls (for your ears) and sweets.

It's great if you sit right in front, because you get to see everything in the cockpit.

I wasn't quite sure what the GPS was meant to show. I assumed it worked only because I survived all three flights.

I still got a kick out of the seat belt and no-smoking sign.
