| Jomsom Airport |
We decided to stay one more night in Jomsom and fly next morning. We were crossing our fingers, although I had no hope. Jomsom airport is known as one of the world's most dangerous airfields and is a particular favourite of flight simulator fans.
Fresh smell of Dashain Dhoop (incense) steaming along with our early morning tea and we were ready to head our way. I think that's Thakali's way of bidding a farewell. By six, we were already at the airport, which was just a couple of minutes walk. The weather was clear.
Once we got the news of flght's been taken off from Pokhara,
we queued up for a check in. That was the first flight in a week's time; it probably was more. It was in less than 5 minutes that the flight took off. Seven each in two airplanes and we took off almost the same time with a couple of minutes difference. The moment it took off until we landed, it was amazing. Everybody clunk to the side windows for the views were spectacular, flying along and over the mountains. Mesmerising!
