Looks like the two guys on the footpath next to the runway get hamburgerized

Been to Lukla...did the Everest Trek in the 70s...walked in (took 6 weeks) from
Lamosangu...did the trek to 20,000 feet and trekked to Lukla and caught a plane
out...very crude!...nothing as elaborate as pavement.

The 'runway' has a slope to it...only one direction to get in...the opposite
direction to get out.

Good times...forty years ago...
