नेपाल सरकार ने माउंट एवरेस्ट से सबसे क़रीबी हवाई अड्डे का नाम पहली बार माउंट एवरेस्ट फ़तह करने वाले सर एडमंड हिलेरी और तेनज़िंग नॉर्गे के नाम पर रख दिया है. इन दोनों ने मई 1953 में ये कारनामा कर दिखाया था. चार्ल्स हैविलैंड की रिपोर्ट. Except for the purists who walk all the way in from the nearest road-head, most visitors' first experience of Nepal's spectacular Everest region is the airstrip at Lukla. It's a dramatic introduction, as the plane has to drop down almost vertically between the mountains and then lands on a runway which slopes steeply upwards. It was actually the New Zealand joint first conqueror of Everest Sir Edmund Hillary, who died a month ago, who inspired the building of the airstrip in the 1960s. And it's been a motor for the development of health, education and tourism in the area. Now Nepal's tourism minister, Prithvi Subba Gurung, says it will henceforth be known as Tenzing Hillary Airport, also commemorating Hillary's climbing partner, the Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, who died in 1986. As much as anything it's a tribute to the friendship between the two men and their families, which remained strong, with Sir Edmund visiting Nepal regularly until the end of his life.
