Flying into Nepal's Lukla orTenzing-Hillary Airport — the gateway to Mount Everest ,and there's no fancy radar to help planes land .This airport is frequently referred to as the most dangerous airport in the world. Arriving and departing aircraft must use a single runway. There is low prospect of a successful go-around on short final due to the terrain.

Wonderful soft light in this makes it feel more bucolic than scary.
