oh how i love the task from lambdia to high above the peak of everest then land at lukla (lukla being possibly 1 of the craziest airports to land a glider)

tow off of lukla the towplane dives off the end, you gotta release right away and get on the ridge
its 1 of the few you can go around if you miss it as long as the ridge is working still
when it is though its extra hard to force it down fast..since your landing on the ridge side..
crazy fun to land coming down from 40,000 feet above it to this ity bitty lil strip on the side of a mountain

that whole regions amazing and challenging
