Yeah! We have landed. But we landed back in Kathmandu! Just 10 minutes before landing at Lukla, due to bad weather, the pilots decided to abort the landing and the group went for a round trip with no extra charge plane flight.

The eagle has landed! That is on the following day 6 October 2009 ... Sharon Tan.
