Lukla in the Himalayas looks trouser-changing
Went in there a few years ago in a MiL-8 with a Russian crew - marginal conditions, and Ivan was sweating profusely as we were having trouble staying within the valley (in a chopper, albeit quite a large one!!!!
). I was also beginning to perspire freely...
We had to divert - to Syangboche (elevation 12,450ft). Chased in by the cloud and had to stay the night in the Sherpa Lodge. The only thing they had to drink was hundreds of bottles of Chivas Regal....
