Mu mzinda wa Nepalese wa Lukla, pali ndege ina yotchedwa Tenzinga ndi Hillary (LUA kapena Tenzing-Hillary Airport), yomwe imayesedwa kuti ndi yoopsa kwambiri padziko lapansi. Amagwirizanitsa likulu la dzikoli ndi mfundo yaikulu kuchokera pamene kukwera kwa Everest ndi mapiri ena a Himalaya kumayambira.
Mfundo zambiri
Ndegeyi inalandira dzina lake lamakono mu 2008 polemekeza oyamba a Jomolungma: Kukonza Norgay (Sherp wochokera ku Nepal) ndi Edmund Percival Hillary (wochokera ku New Zealand). Zisanayambe izi, zipata za mzindawo zinkatchedwa dzina la mzinda umene iwo ali.
Palibenso zipangizo zamakono, kupatula pa wailesi, choncho oyendetsa ndege amatha kuyenda mofulumira panthawi imene akufika ndi kuchotsa. Pakati pa utsi kapena nyengo yoipa, pali ngozi yaikulu ya kuwonongeka kwa nsalu, ndipo panthawi imeneyo anthu samanyamula ndege.
Kufotokozera kwa ndege ya Lukla
Msewuwu uli ndi kutalika kwa 527 mamita, m'lifupi mamita 20 ndipo uli pansi pamtunda (12%) kumtunda wa 2860 mamita pamwamba pa nyanja. Malo apa ndi ovuta kwambiri, choncho kuchotsa kumapangidwa kuchokera kumapeto 24, ndi landings kuyambira 06. Kusiyana pakati pawo ndi 60 mamita.
Kumbali imodzi ndi mtunda, womwe umatalika kufika mamita 4000, ndipo winayo - kuphompho, ndi mamita 700. Umatha ndi mtsinje wa Dudh Kosi, womwe ndi wovuta kwambiri padziko lapansi. Ndikofunika kuti mupite ndi kuchoka pano kuyambira nthawi yoyamba, chifukwa njira yachiwiri ndizosatheka. Mu 2001, ndege ya Lukla inagwedezeka ndipo nyumba yomanga nyumba yatsopano inamangidwanso, ndipo pulogalamu ya helikopita ndi masitepe okwera magalimoto anayikidwa.
Ndege zotumikira pa doko la ndege
Mungathe kupita ku kampani ya ndege ya Lukla kuchokera ku Kathmandu . Kulowa ndi kuchotsa pano kumagwira pa Twin Otter yaing'ono ndi ndege za Dornier 228, zomwe ziribe zipinda zamagalimoto m'nyumba. Kutenga kwa makinawa ndi matani awiri, kotero amatha kukhala ndi anthu okwana 20.
Munthu wina angatenge katundu woposa 10 kg, katundu wonyamulira - mpaka 2 kg. Chaka chilichonse lamuloli limamangika ndipo likuwongolera njira zosiyanasiyana za anthu okwera. Mtengo wa tikiti uli pafupi madola 260 njira imodzi. Kutumikira ku eyapoti ndi ndege zingapo:
- Mayendedwe a Yeti;
- Dziko;
- Mpweya wa Goma;
- Tara Air;
- Ndege za Gorkha;
- Air Sita.
Pogwiritsa ntchito maulendo a ndegeyi, ndibwino kuganizira kuti ndege zimapangidwa masana okha: kuyambira 06:30 mpaka 15:30 ndi maonekedwe abwino. Mvula yamapiri imakhala yosadziŵika bwino komanso yonyenga, motero ndege zimachotsedwa, ndipo kuchedwa kungakhale kwa maola angapo mpaka masiku angapo.
Chaka ndi chaka anthu pafupifupi 25,000 amagwiritsa ntchito maulendo apanyanja.
Kodi mukufunikira kudziwa chiyani pamene mukuuluka?
Chifukwa cha nyengo yosinthika pakamatera ndi kubwera sikutheka kutaya mphindi, kotero ndege ikuuluka mozungulira. Pakati pa ndegeyi sichisamalira chilichonse, kapena kuyeretsa. Chilichonse chimabwera mofulumira kwambiri: mutatha kukwera, imatumizidwa ku "thumba", ndipo ina imalowa nthawi yomweyo. Anthu okwera ndege ayenera kukhala ndi nthawi yoti amasulidwe, kotero kuti loaders amatsule katundu ndi katundu. Ku bwalo la ndege la Lukla, asilikali akumidzi akutsatira ndondomekoyi.
Mukapita ku Lukala kapena kuti kuchokera ku Lukla, oyendayenda ayenera kudziwa ziganizo zotsatirazi:
- Mu kanyumba ka ndege mukufunika kutenga jekete lotentha, kuti asamangidwe, monga chombocho chisasindikizidwe, ndipo kuchoka kwadzidzidzi sikutsekedwa mwamphamvu.
- Kugula matikiti ochokera ku Lukla ndi bwino m'mawa (mpaka 08:00). Pa nthawi ino nyengo ikuwonekera bwino.
- Ngati mukufuna kuwona Himalaya kuchokera pa khomo, ndiye kuti mukhale ndi mipando ku nyumba ya kumanzere (izi zikugwiritsidwa ntchito pa ndege kuchokera ku Kathmandu kupita ku Lukla).
- Katundu wanu ayenera kulembedwa mu zilembo zazikulu ndi zowala, kusonyeza nambala ya foni. Pali zochitika pamene ndege yathyoledwa, ndipo katunduyo akhoza kupita ndi ndege ina.
- Gulani matikiti ochokera ku Lukla alizikika, osati tsiku lotseguka. Iwo ali ndi udindo wapamwamba pa nthawi yolembetsa, zomwe zimapangitsa mwayi wanu kutha.
- Kawirikawiri mulibe zipinda zamkati mu ndege, choncho ganizirani mfundo iyi musanachotsedwe. Ngati mukudwala, piritsi liyenera kumwa mowa mphindi 20 musanatuluke, choncho akhoza kuchita.
- Kuti mupewe katundu wambiri, onetsetsani kuchuluka kwa zovala ndi nsapato, ndipo mu matumba anu muike "zinthu zochepa".
- Masiku angapo asanatuluke ku Lukla akufunsa nyengo. Ngati chimphepo chikuyandikira mzindawo, ndibwino kuti tuluke kutali masiku angapo m'mbuyomu, kuti tisagwiritsidwe pano kwa nthawi yosatha.
- Ku Kathmandu, mungathe kudutsa matikiti omwe atsala pang'ono kutha. Otsogolera, otsogolera kapena ogwira ntchito angathandize pa izi.
- Pamene mukupita ku Lukla, mukuyenera kukhala ndi madola 500 osungirako katundu ndi masiku 2-3 musanapite kudziko, kuti musasinthe matikiti pa maulendo apadziko lonse.
Ambiri omwe amadziwa bwino kukwera ndege nthawi zambiri amanena kuti sizowopsya kuti tigonjetse Everest, momwe tingakhalire bwinobwino pa eyapoti ya mzinda wa Lukla . Ngati mukufunikira kuwuluka, ndipo ndege sizipita, ndiye mugwiritse ntchito ma helikopita omwe amachokera pano.
