I met a guy who used to fly Twin Otters in Nepal and there were some bizarre things there too to get tourists in and out of mountainous areas.
6.67 degree Glideslope, am I understanding this correctly?!?!?! LOL!! That's amazing! That's like doing a friggin emergency descent on the G/S! (being sarcastic). I would love to see the approach briefing for the IGS at LSZG. I remember something of a crazy NDB approach in Northern India or Nepal. I wish I could recall the details but it was a very steep descent.
