Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Lukla - Adventure Unlimited

Tenzing Hillary Airport(2869m) at Lukla, Nepal is one of the most exhilarating and dangerous airports in the world. With only 527m of runway and about 700m angled slope which ends at a steep cliff, flying to and fro here feels more of an adventure than an ordinary flight elsewhere. Known as the gateway to Everest region, it is also one of the busiest airports in Nepal. Here are some of the pictures which gives you a clearer view of this magnificient airport.

Adventures In Nepal - Bungy Jump

Hold your breathe and calm your nerves. 
This is what you'll have to do when you are at Bhotekoshi river's bridge. The site is situated at just a 3-hour drive from Kathmandu and near to the Nepal-Tibet border.At the height of 160m above the bustling Bhotekoshi river joining two mountains, this is the spot where you'll get to experience the breathtaking moment of Bungy. Considered as the best place for Bungy in the world, Jumpers can experience one of the longest free-fall in the world. Surely this sport is not for those with weak heart but even they can enjoy here, whether by mesmerizing themselves in beauty of the surrounding or by relaxing at 'The Last Resort', the resort which conducts these sports is just a few minutes walk from the bridge.
