<p> <em> New Zealand is a popular destination for adventure tourism. (Source: Getty Images)</em> <strong> New Zealand</strong> When it comes to adventure travel, New Zealand always offers top-notch experiences. This is the birthplace of bungee jumping and the use of high-speed jet boats for river cruises. The country has beautiful hiking routes, along with kayaking and mountain biking experiences in breathtaking landscapes only found in New Zealand. Visitors should not miss the trek along the Te Araroa trail &#8211; one of the most attractive trekking routes in the world. <strong> America</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_30_194_39016713/732fda70cd32246c7d23.jpg" width="625" height="391"> <em> National parks in the US like the Grand Canyon are always ideal destinations.</em> With a large area and diverse natural landscapes, it is not difficult for visitors to find a place to explore with outdoor activities in the US. Campgrounds, trails, and mountain ranges appear everywhere from the east coast to the west coast. Whether you are looking for shady forests, grasslands, beaches, plains, deserts… America has it all. Travel services in the US are also very professional, suppliers are always ready to support visitors, from ideation to building a complete itinerary. <strong> Australia</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_30_194_39016713/658dcdd2da9033ce6a81.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Australia is a place visitors need to come back many times to be able to explore it all. (Source: Getty Images)</em> Kangaroo Land offers plenty of options for adventurous travelers, from scuba diving off the Gold Coast to biking across the Great Ocean or exploring remote areas. With so many landscapes to explore, Australia is a place visitors need to return to again and again with exciting and exhilarating experiences. The &#8220;lifetime&#8221; experience in Australia is diving to see the world&#8217;s largest Great Barrier Reef. This reef is considered a symbol of the state of Queensland, and is also one of the most famous places in Australia. <strong> Iceland</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_30_194_39016713/690dde52c910204e7901.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Suggest 7 ideal destinations for adventure travel &#8216;followers&#8217; Ice caves in Iceland. (Source: Getty Images)</em> It is difficult to explore all of Iceland&#8217;s natural wonders. Here, visitors can explore caves, kayak on the scenic coastline, hike glaciers, and soak in hot springs after a day of riding in the waves. Iceland also possesses dramatic natural scenes, such as colorful geysers caused by geothermal effects or the northern lights shimmering in the night sky. One of the most exciting adventures in Iceland is exploring the giant ice cave Vatnajökull Glacier – a destination unlike any other in the world. <strong> Nepal</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_30_194_39016713/5fc7e998feda17844ecb.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Crossing the Himalayas is the most fascinating experience in Nepal. (Source: Getty Images)</em> Nepal is a familiar name in the plans of adventure travelers. Whether wandering the temples and streets of Kathmandu or exploring Chitwan National Park is great, it is the hiking and climbing that is most worthwhile. Owning the 8 highest peaks in the world, it is understandable that Nepal is the top choice of climbers, with routes like the Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp. Crossing the Himalayas is definitely the most fascinating experience in Nepal. The fame and attraction of the Himalayas makes adventurers irresistible. <strong> Tanzania</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_30_194_39016713/794ccc13db51320f6b40.jpg" width="625" height="380"> <em> Mount Kilimanjaro is known as the &#8220;roof of Africa&#8221;. (Source: Getty Images)</em> In Tanzania, there are two famous itineraries that any tourist wants to experience. The first is to learn about the wildlife in the Serengeti nature reserve. This is Tanzania&#8217;s most famous national park, where visitors can witness giant herds of antelope from hot air balloons. The second is a more difficult trip to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, which is known as the &#8220;roof of Africa&#8221;. After hard journeys, head to Zanzibar Island right on the shores of the Indian Ocean to relax or continue to challenge yourself with scuba diving trips. <strong> Morocco</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_30_194_39016713/6675d22ac5682c367579.jpg" width="625" height="413"> <em> Camping in the desert in Morocco. (Source: Getty Images)</em> Camping in the Sahara, hiking and mountain biking in the High Atlas or off-road driving through vast deserts are just a few of the things you can do in Morocco. In addition to adventure tourism activities, visitors also often spend time roaming the bustling and traditional neighborhoods of Marrakech or Casablanca. However, a trek to the top of the highest mountain Toubkal in North Africa is still a journey not to be missed. (according to VOV.VN)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>For Joshi, the time when he contracted Covid-19 and coped with the super typhoon at the foot of Mount Everest was more difficult than the journey to reach the &#8216;roof of the world&#8217;.</strong><br />
<span id="more-22942"></span> On May 8, Harshvardhan Joshi (26 years old, India) was busy at the campsite at the foot of Everest to prepare for the journey to conquer the highest mountain in the world. <em> VICE</em> .</p>
<p> For almost a month, he had been waiting there while a group of Sherpa guides scouted the route and fixed the climbing rope from the assembly point to the summit. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_15_119_39196027/6dc57169792b9075c93a.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> This year&#8217;s climbing season has about 1,500 people joining the support staff. </em> Along with more than 400 other people present at the foot of Mount Everest, the young man hopes to make his lifelong dream come true. At that time, a climbing friend carefully brought some rapid test kits for SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen due to the pandemic raging in Nepal and India. Joshi also participated in the testing. However, a bad news interrupted Joshi&#8217;s excitement: he tested positive for Covid-19. Not believing his ears, the guy tested himself again but it still showed the same results. “The scene was actually quite noisy. The team still had to continue the journey without me no matter how much the trip meant to me,” he said. <strong> Covid-19 climbing season</strong> This year&#8217;s climbing season took place under the most extraordinary circumstances. Despite concerns about a second wave of the epidemic, Nepal decided to reopen Mount Everest and other mountains after a year of closure. At the end of March 2021, Joshi arrived in Kathmandu (Nepal) and set out to the meeting point at the foot of the mountain. Around mid-April, the first whispers of Covid-19 in the campground began to appear. Meanwhile, Nepalese officials continue to deny that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was present at the highest mountain in the world. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_15_119_39196027/3a0b24a72ce5c5bb9cf4.jpg" width="625" height="706"> <em> Harshvardhan Joshi started his passion for climbing 10 years ago. </em> “Isolation rules are in place but no one is monitoring. Some people flew to the assembly point after only a few days of isolation,&#8221; Joshi said. Due to the lack of testing facilities, no one can tell the difference between Covid-19 disease and the persistent &#8220;khumbu dry cough&#8221; &#8211; a symptom most climbers experience at this altitude. . Only major climbs are equipped with doctors and testing equipment. &#8220;We also only got tested after a teammate asked his wife to bring a rapid test kit from India.&#8221; In the village of Dibuche near the campsite, one of Joshi&#8217;s teammates tested positive for Covid-19 and decided to fly home. Not long after, 5 other people also contracted the virus and Joshi was the 6th. Joshi&#8217;s priority is to isolate himself in a tent alone for 10 days. Due to his lack of symptoms, he decided to stay instead of evacuating by helicopter with the other patients. The young man still hopes that he can continue his journey after the isolation period ends. “I consulted the doctors in my hometown. They sent me the treatment plan. Then I asked the person who organized this trip in Kathmandu to buy and send the medicine by helicopter.” During the quarantine, Joshi spent many hours practicing breathing and chanting. “I spend most of my time in the tent. Meals will be delivered from the kitchen to my tent. It was really lonely having to dine alone in the cold weather,” he recalls. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_15_119_39196027/110d0ea106e3efbdb6f2.jpg" width="625" height="352"> <em> Joshi&#8217;s medication was delivered from the capital of Nepal via helicopter. </em> In mid-May, Joshi&#8217;s dream was further threatened by Cyclone Tauktae, which killed more than 100 Indians and blew away at least 30 tents at the campsite. Faced with this situation, Nepalese authorities have extended the time so that tourists can wait for better weather, conquering the &#8220;roof of the world&#8221; again, although the climbing season usually ends in May. <strong> &#8216;Steering&#8217; of the unexpected trip</strong> By dinner on May 19, things finally got better for Joshi. The weather forecast in the coming days will be better and his latest test came back negative. Joshi&#8217;s original plan was to climb Everest first and then to Lhotse, Everest&#8217;s &#8220;neighbor&#8221; and the fourth highest mountain in the world. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_15_119_39196027/791769bb61f988a7d1e8.jpg" width="625" height="833"> <em> Anup Rai (left) and Furte Sherpa accompany Joshi to climb Everest. </em> However, he decided to try Lhotse first because it would be deserted in the coming clear days. Moreover, he was also worried about his lung condition after the illness. At midnight, Joshi set out with two climbing guides, Furte Sherpa and Anup Rai &#8211; who he assessed as &#8220;inexperienced but healthy&#8221;. Other more experienced guides have left the mountain because of Covid-19. &#8220;Therefore, I asked two people to go with me to maximize safety, in case something happened,&#8221; he said. Mount Everest and Lhotse share a major climb. Thus, on the way, Joshi&#8217;s group met an Everest climbing team. With the weather forecast to get worse due to the effects of another storm, Joshi realized the short time ahead was the best opportunity to visit Everest once. So he changed his mind again and went back to the original plan. “Winds will get stronger and the chances of climbing in good weather will become increasingly limited. However, I still decided to go,” he said. After 2 days, despite all the harsh weather conditions, Joshi reached the summit of Everest. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_15_119_39196027/47d956755e37b769ee26.jpg" width="625" height="374"> <em> Joshi doesn&#8217;t feel too excited about climbing the &#8220;roof of the world&#8221;. </em> Standing from the &#8220;roof of the world&#8221;, he can see the glacier in northern Tibet glowing in the morning sun, Mount Lhotse and the majestic Himalayas. “There were at least 20 people on the top of the mountain before our group. I just sat there and basked in the beautiful surroundings. After that, I bowed my head to thank my two guides &#8211; who brought me up here safely. On the other hand, Joshi wasn&#8217;t as excited as he had thought. With the next storm coming, he didn&#8217;t have much time to linger on Mount Everest. &#8220;It feels like the problems I faced before reaching Everest were much more difficult than climbing to the top,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p> <em> https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/</em> When passing through the small village in Paro town, on a sunny afternoon Bhutan appeared before my eyes after a day climbing Tiger Nest. When seeing the old peach tree in the house, all fatigue disappears. The children come home from school joking and talking in a peaceful space like a fairy tale. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_08_232_39108547/be18094c1a0ef350aa1f.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/</em> In the morning, when on the way from Thimphu to the ancient capital of Punakha, see the whole Himalayan snow mountain glowing at dawn around the ancient pine forest on Dochula pass. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_08_232_39108547/16d4a080b3c25a9c03d3.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/</em> Fort in the ancient capital Punakha with majestic but close architecture.

Buddhism creates its own identity for the culture, way of life and way of governing the country of Bhutan. They usually pray 3 times a day: in the morning before going to work or school, in the afternoon after finishing work and at night before going to bed. Unlike some Asian countries, their prayers are not for their own safety but for peace for sentient beings, humanity. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_08_232_39108547/5790ecc4ff8616d84f97.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/</em> Traditional Bhutanese dress.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Adventure tourism and outdoor activities are increasingly popular, as tourists are tending to avoid crowded destinations. Here are the typical destinations among countless exciting adventures around the world.</strong><br />
<span id="more-19178"></span> <strong> New Zealand</strong> </p>
<p> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_26_65_38966343/0f9f30e825aaccf495bb.jpg" width="625" height="409"> <em> New Zealand is a popular destination for adventure tourism. Source: Getty Images</em> When it comes to adventure travel, New Zealand always offers top-notch experiences. This is the birthplace of bungee jumping and the use of high-speed jet boats for river cruises. The country has beautiful hiking routes, along with kayaking and mountain biking experiences in breathtaking landscapes only found in New Zealand. Visitors should not miss the trek along the Te Araroa trail &#8211; one of the most attractive trekking routes in the world. <strong> America</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_26_65_38966343/36ea0c9d19dff081a9ce.jpg" width="625" height="391"> <em> National parks in the US like the Grand Canyon are always ideal destinations.</em> With a large area and diverse natural landscapes, it is not difficult for visitors to find a place to explore with outdoor activities in the US. Campgrounds, trails, and mountain ranges appear everywhere from the east coast to the west coast. Whether you are looking for shady forests, grasslands, beaches, plains, deserts… America has it all. Travel services in the US are also very professional, suppliers are always ready to support tourists, from ideation to building a complete itinerary. If you&#8217;re still confused between so many options, the easiest is to choose to explore a national park closest to you. Any national park in the US, be it Yosemite, Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon… can&#8217;t let you down. <strong> Australia</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_26_65_38966343/7b787f0f6a4d8313da5c.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Australia is a place visitors need to come back many times to be able to explore it all. Source: Getty Images</em> Kangaroo Land offers a wide range of options for adventurous travelers, from scuba diving off the Gold Coast to biking across the Great Ocean or exploring remote areas. With so many landscapes to explore, Australia is a place visitors need to return to again and again with exciting and exhilarating experiences. The &#8220;lifetime&#8221; experience in Australia is diving to see the world&#8217;s largest Great Barrier Reef. This reef is considered a symbol of the state of Queensland, and is also one of the most famous places in Australia. <strong> Iceland</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_26_65_38966343/1e0718700d32e46cbd23.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Ice caves in Iceland. Source: Getty Images</em> It is difficult to explore all of Iceland&#8217;s natural wonders. Here visitors can explore caves, kayak on the scenic shoreline, hike glaciers, and soak in hot springs after a day of riding in the waves. Iceland also possesses dramatic natural scenes, such as colorful geysers caused by geothermal effects or the aurora borealis shimmering in the night sky. One of the most fascinating adventures in Iceland is exploring the giant ice cave Vatnajökull Glacier – a destination unlike any other in the world. <strong> Nepal</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_26_65_38966343/384f3b382e7ac7249e6b.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Crossing the Himalayas is the most fascinating experience in Nepal. Source: Getty Images</em> Nepal is a familiar name in the plans of adventure travelers. Whether wandering the temples and streets of Kathmandu or exploring Chitwan National Park is great, it is the hiking and climbing that is most worthwhile. Owning the 8 highest peaks in the world, it is understandable that Nepal is the top choice of climbers, with routes like the Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp. Crossing the Himalayas is definitely the most fascinating experience in Nepal. The fame and attraction of the Himalayas makes adventurers irresistible. <strong> Tanzania</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_26_65_38966343/d8cdd5bac0f829a670e9.jpg" width="625" height="380"> <em> Mount Kilimanjaro is known as the &#8220;roof of Africa&#8221;. Source: Getty Images</em> In Tanzania, there are two famous itineraries that any tourist wants to experience. The first is to learn about the wildlife in the Serengeti nature reserve. This is Tanzania&#8217;s most famous national park, where visitors can witness giant herds of antelope from hot air balloons. The second is a more difficult trip to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, which is known as the &#8220;roof of Africa&#8221;. After hard journeys, head to Zanzibar Island right on the shores of the Indian Ocean to relax or continue to challenge yourself with diving trips. <strong> Morocco</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_26_65_38966343/f623fa54ef1606485f07.jpg" width="625" height="413"> <em> Camping in the desert in Morocco. Source: Getty Images</em> Camping in the Sahara, hiking and mountain biking in the High Atlas or off-road driving through vast deserts are just a few of the things you can do in Morocco. In addition to adventure tourism activities, visitors also often spend time roaming the bustling and traditional neighborhoods of Marrakech or Casablanca. However, a trekking trip to the top of the highest mountain Toubkal in North Africa is still a journey not to be missed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Located 344 km west of the &#8216;roof of the world&#8217; Everest, the Himalayan peak of Dhaulagiri has recorded the first cases of COVID-19.</strong><br />
<span id="more-16892"></span> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_07_294_38761620/92478ad196937fcd2682.jpg" width="625" height="340"> </p>
<p> <em> A person with COVID-19 has appeared on the top of the world&#8217;s 7th highest mountain Dhaulagiri. Photo: Nepal Travel Guide</em> According to Sputnik, in the past two days alone, at least 19 people have been evacuated from the main stop on the top of Dhaulagiri after some showed signs of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. After testing, 7 of the evacuated climbers tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Mr. Mingma Sherpa &#8211; Chairman of Dhaulagri Seven Summits travel agency confirmed the latest developments. Located in western Nepal, Dhaulagiri is the 7th highest mountain in the world. The second wave of COVID-19 is causing extremely heavy damage to India and neighboring South Asian countries. Nepal &#8211; a country with a population of 30 million people similar to the Indian capital New Delhi &#8211; has begun to record more than 2,000 new infections a day. In April, a Norwegian climber was the first to test positive for COVID-19 after being taken from the Everest base station to a hospital in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, for testing. The climber said he had symptoms similar to high-altitude pulmonary edema, which is common among people 2,500 meters above sea level. To date, Mount Everest has seen at least 30 climbers infected with COVID-19. Despite consistently recording COVID-19 cases on top of the world&#8217;s highest mountain, Nepal remains open to expeditions to balance its economy hit by the pandemic. The Ministry of Tourism of Nepal has issued permits for 377 climbers to climb Mount Everest. After detecting positive cases of COVID-19 at the Everest and Dhaulagiri rest stops, the Nepalese military began to conduct tests on the remaining climbers. Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain range, China suspended tours to explore Everest before the pandemic.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> Sea Ice Runway, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica</strong> </p>
<p> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/8b9a87130350ea0eb341.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Also known as &#8220;The Ice&#8221;, the Sea Ice Runway in Antarctica is not paved with any material. And if this isn&#8217;t scary enough, it&#8217;s entirely made of… ice and can crack under the weight of an airplane. As temperatures rise and the ice melts, there aren&#8217;t any runways for planes to land on. <strong> Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten, USA</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/f085840c004fe911b05e.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten, USA is probably scarier for people sunbathing on the beach than for passengers. The airport&#8217;s runway is quite short and it ends right near the beach. This means the plane must fly extremely low, before landing. Beachgoers will &#8220;enjoy&#8221; a strange experience with extremely loud noises and strong winds. <strong> Paro Airport, Paro, Bhutan</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/b31dc49440d7a989f0c6.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> The only international airport in Bhutan is Paro located at an altitude of 2.23 km above sea level and surrounded by the Himalayas with the highest peak reaching 4.87 km. All of this makes only the most veteran pilots allowed to fly here. <strong> Barra Airport, Eologarry, Scotland</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/e9589ad11e92f7ccae83.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> You might be surprised to learn that planes will have to land on sand at Barra Airport in Scotland. Due to its location on the coast, one must also calculate the time to land the plane at no tide. At that time, the &#8220;runway&#8221; will completely disappear. <strong> Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport, Saba Island, Netherlands</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/b11ecc9748d4a18af8c5.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> If the extreme winds generated by the mountains haven&#8217;t made you shiver, the less than 400-meter runway of Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport is sure to make even the bravest tremble. <strong> Narsaruaq Airport, Greenland</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/22d95850dc13354d6c02.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Winds and turbulence at Narsaruaq Airport are so frequent that take-offs and landings are only allowed during the day. Pilots here also need to make 90-degree turns to line up planes on the flight path &#8211; this is especially hard when it&#8217;s windy. <strong> Gibraltar International Airport, Gibraltar</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/5e5c39d5bd9654c80d87.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Besides terminating in a harbour, the runway of Gibraltar International Airport intersects Winston Churchill Avenue, one of the bustling neighbourhoods. most Gibraltar. (It has to close every time a plane lands.) <strong> Madeira Airport, Portugal</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/0e7d6cf4e8b701e958a6.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Known as the most dangerous airport in Europe, pilots face hills on one side and the sea on the other when operating at this airport. Its runway is also windy and very short. <strong> Qamdo Bamda Airport, China</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/af47c2ce468dafd3f69c.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Qamdo Bamda Airport used to be the tallest airport in the world. However, at an altitude of 4.33 km above sea level, the thin air also makes landing more difficult than ever. In return, the airport has the longest runway runway in the world, at 5.47 km. <strong> Gustaf II Airport, St. Barths</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/6c4b04c2808169df3090.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> At 640 meters long, the runway of Gustaf II airport is not only short but also ends at a public beach full of tourists. <strong> Matekane Air Strip, Matekane, Lesotho</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/bb7bd2f256b1bfefe6a0.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> The runway at this airport is about 400 meters, but the abyss below it is more than 600 meters deep. Many people therefore liken these planes on the runway to a bird rushing out of its nest to practice flying. <strong> Ketchikan International Airport, Alaska</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/de8fb4063045d91b8054.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Ketchikan International Airport often freezes because of its special geographical location near mountains, sea and cold winds. <strong> Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Nepal</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/e1978a1e0e5de703be4c.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Nepal has one of the steepest runways in the world and ends in the majestic Himalayas. It is understandable that flights are only allowed to take off or land during the day and weather permitting. <strong> Courchevel Airport, France</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_329_38856629/f8a0ac29286ac134987b.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Photo: BI</em> Not only short, the flight path at Courchevel airport also has a slope of 18.5%. Not to mention that it is surrounded by many rocky mountains.</p>
