Image
Luka - a town in the Khumbu region in eastern Nepal, the transit point of tourists and mountaineers heading to Everest neighborhood. Lukla lies at an altitude of 2860 m. There is no road to Lukla, but there is a small airport. Also see plans to open the first tarmac road from Kathmandu to Lukla . At the initiative of Sherpas living in the surrounding villages, and other airports in the vicinity of Mount Everest (in particular Namche Bazar ) are not used for mass tourism, and the main stream of tourists are walking from Lukla to Namche Bazaar (one day go with a recommended overnight), with Sherpa guides and porters are hired, and local residents include hotels and restaurants.

They do not have a drop of falsehood and artifice, games. They do what they feel. It's just people with other people, not dead, not exhausted, not feigned, and the clean, clear, alive.

Its enough to see even in passing, to remember forever. Impressions stun, shock, delight. This – the mysterious and unfathomable country, a country of mountains, mnogorukih Gods, beautiful women in colourful saris and poverty, which fascinates with its beauty. It is easy to admire it, but need many years to learn to understand it. Nepal is such that what you want to see it. Maybe this how he wants to show you. Very few countries in the world by the beginning of the XXI century may boast that they have managed to maintain their language, their culture, their customs and traditions as they were centuries ago. Sometimes it seems that the Creator began his work with this country, giving her all his power and fantasy, and only then, tired, quickly made the rest of the world. But it's not the fabulously beautiful nature. P
