I've found us a new target. Well, not really tricky on the approach path but on the density altitude in place. So, apart from a few other locations on the planet, this one may be very demanding on the plane in use.
Lhasa, Tibet ZULS. There's some freeware here which adds the river to the place. http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=ZULS+AIRPORT+Version+2&CatID=fsx&Go=Search
There's another freeware at Avsim which may add more details to the airport itself but doesn't add the river.
See a rw video here. Very sparse scenery in the rw.

Now the approach looks like this. The charts are included in the freeware download from above.
The path isn't very demanding when being used to other things like Paro. And the airport can handle wide-body aircraft too. So it's more like the current conditions are the challenge, giving me a density altitude of 15.500ft! :o
Means your engines feel like landing at 15.500ft and later trying to bring the plane back into the air. By the way, you may have guessed right, that place isn't that far away from Paro.
Here's the Google Earth view when coming from the West.
