Nice landing, only 8 pilots are allowed to land on this runway (less than 2 km in length): Real Paro Bhutan Landing 15 A319 Cockpit[^]
Nice job! But noisy real estate (spectacular valley view, tho')! :) /ravi

The Lukla landings are quite fun to watch if you like this sort of thing clickety[^] Basically it is a descent into a valley with no go-around(once the pilot has committed to the final approach he has to land... or crash...) as the end of the runway is a mountain wall... Way back in '92 when I was in Nepal I remember hearing the stories of the Lukla flight and how most people did the two/three week trek instead of braving the flight.(I did the Annapurna Sanctuary trek partly for this reason)
