Just to make it short: There is NO plane BUT DH-6, probably the DH-7, Do-228 or smaller twins that can land or start at lukla.
You need something that can lift-off at around 60 knots and there's not too much around
Furthermore, the standard scenery of lukla looks boring and I don't know how things are happening when some people use the default
airstrip while others use the payware (which is brilliant). Why not fly to an accessible airport instead and after landing there, one could
change planes and do the hop to lukla if one wants to.

EDIT:
List of planes that are NOT capable starting from Lukla (tested and the pile of rubble below the runway drop is increasing)

B737, B727, B757, B767, B747, B777 - A318/19/20/21, A300/310, A330/340, A380 - ATR42-200/500 , ATR72 - Emb-120,
Emb135/45, Emb 170/5, Emb-190/5 - Saab 340 - concorde - HS748 - AN24 -


List of planes that can make it: DH-6, Do-228, Islander, Shorts Skyvan, An-14, Volparliner (Beech18), DHC-3 Super Otter

List of planes that MAY be able to (if you don't care about scared paxes and hefty maneuvres): Trislander (2 out of 3 attempts), Shorts 360,
AN-2 (with help from all the gods and you better keep your eyes closed), An-28

Carsten, the Captain Sim 727-100 lifted off at Lukla without a hitch Of course I didn't have it loaded down full of paxs, which I will sacrifice
in order to get a decent liftoff. BUT, I have to land there before I can take off again, so I suppose the trusty old Caravan will have to do.
