Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Tulsipur Airport, Nepal:

Thus we have to promote for the weekly three days flight to Kathmandu and indian states as Bihar, maharastra.

Comment by @david on Lukla Airport, Nepal:

The runway is short (1,500 ft) at high elevation (over 9,000 ft), so the airport is accessible only to helicopters and to STOL aircraft like Twin Otters.

The Nepal government plans to rename the airport in honour of Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary, the first people to climb Mt. Everest (the airport serves Everest).
