Distance: 5.1 mile (8.2kms)

.
๐Ÿš The town of Lukla is centred around a long street with shops selling souvenirs and outdoor gear.

After this comes the Khumbu Pasanglhamu Rural Municipality Office to purchase the first of two regional trekking permits.
.
๐ŸŽŸ  The permit fee is 2000NPR (ยฃ12.80) if not part of an included package.
.
๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ The trek from Lukla to Phakding takes you through fantastic scenery. Enjoy the verdant pine trees and wildlife of the national park with glimpses of the mountains ahead. The trail is a mix of dirt and some rocky sections, passing through small local villages.

๐Ÿ“Officially known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Nepal's busiest domestic hub. At 2846m (9337ft), the short runway is only 527m (1729ft) with a 12% gradient which makes landing risky. 
.
โœˆ๏ธ Considered the most dangerous airport in the world, flight schedules are determined by the weather in both Kathmandu and Lukla. With no fixed seating, sit on the left-hand side approaching Lukla for the best views of the Himalayas and the opposite side when leaving Lukla. Over 60 flights per day operate during the peak trekking season, with an average flight time of around 35 minutes.
.
๐Ÿš The helicopter company @air_dynasty_heli offers services to and from Lukla, including emergency evacuations and charter flights.
.
๐Ÿ‘จโ€โœˆ๏ธ Only experienced pilots who have completed over 100 short takeoff and landing missions can operate here. The hair-raising approach leaves no margin for error. Airline services include @nepalairlinesra @yetiairlines 
.
โ›”๏ธ Accidents and incidents do occur, so safety is paramount.
.
๐Ÿงณ Due to the flight, rules on baggage weight are strict. Checked-in luggage is a maximum of 10kg, and carry on is 5kg. Extra weight is chargeable but not advised.
.
Fun fact: Only radio communication is used for landings and take-offs with no air navigation or radar system.

๐Ÿ“Thamel is the biggest tourist market in Nepal and lies in the heart of Kathmandu. It is the tourism centre of the Kathmandu Valley. Here are one can find budget-friendly guesthouses, trekking companies, shopping centers, restaurants for locals and tourists alike.
.

.
๐Ÿ“Located in southeastern Lithuania, Trakai, famous for its 14-century castle on an island at Lake Galvรฉ, was once home to the great dukes of Lithuania. The castle is surrounded by water on all sides, making it an excellent strategic location. Access is via a footbridge.
.
.
๐Ÿฐ Built in several phases, the castle fell into a state of disrepair, however during the 19th-century plans were prepared to reconstruct the castle. Work began in earnest in 1952 and finished in 1961. Once used as a prison, the castle is now a museum.
