The Gold Standard? We landed in Lukla, Nepal this morning and everyone was looking forward to seeing-and experiencing-the famous Lukla Airstrip. A quick flight to Lukla is the first stage of most treks to the South Side of Everest.

The Team Arrives. For the past 3 years I've been trying to show a more complete picture of what it's like to visit Everest and the Himalayas. Now, with a bunch of my audience members standing around me here in Kathmandu, that picture is going to become even more complete!

http://www.scmp.com/video/ Frank Wang, a post-graduate student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, has always had an interest in helicopters. Last June, Frank's helicopter made the world's first unmanned flight around Mount Everest. The highly-sophisticated machine also carries a camera that can take both photos and video; live images are then sent back to a handheld unit. The helicopter has proven useful in Tibet, where local authorities wanted to track animal migration. It also proved invaluable in Sichuan, where authorities used the helicopter to take photos of the devastation following the May 12th earthquake. In this video, take a look at some of the footage the helicopter shot during its testing around Tibet and also around Mount Everest.
