Hello! These are some pictures from a very fun flight that I did with @Errigal, on the Expert server! The route was from the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu (ICAO: VNKT) to the city of Paro, in Buhtan (ICAO: VQPR). My favorite part of the flight was definitely the approach into Paro. Surrounded by mountains, it truly is spectacular. Weaving around the valley, avoiding terrain, and then finally the infamous final approach. Due to hills, and mountains, Paro requires last second turns to align with the runway. If you haven’t tried landing at Paro, I highly recommend it. But you didn’t come here for commentary, you came for photos! Enjoy!

@Errigal leading me to the runway
Imagine the Buhtan Airlines livery on this
Goodbye Kathmandu
Cruising level with the stunning Himalayas
Entering the valley that holds our destination, Paro
Short final, but still not aligned with the runway
A last second turn that is necessary to land safely
Errigal decided to try the other side of the runway, which forced him to do a much later, and steeper turn
Ending how we started
I hope you enjoyed the photos! Let me know which was your favorite!
