What to expect

One of the best ways to get close to the Himalayas, and to Everest in particular, is to take one-hour morning mountain flight from Kathmandu. It offers an incredible scene and close-up view of the awesome peaks like Dorje Lakpa (6,966m), Phurbi Chyachu, Choba Bhamare, Gauri Shankar (7,134m) and other Himalayan peaks in Nepal and Tibet. Various domestic airlines such as Buddha, Yeti and Agni operate breath-taking mountain flights for tourists in the early morning round the year, ensuring a window seat for each flight passenger for an uninterrupted view for seeing Himalayan range, glaciers and scattered villages. Mountain flight is suitable for all categories of traveler especially for those who are restricted by time from going trekking and other adventure activities. As the flight moves towards the eastern Himalaya, a succession of majestic mountains follows. The most exciting stretch of the flight journey takes the passengers close to the 7,952m tall Mt. Gyachungkang which is considered an extremely difficult mountain to climb. To its right lies Mt. Pumori (7,161m) and Mt. Nuptse (7,8565m). Finally, there comes Mt. Everest (8,848m) called Sagarmatha by Nepalese and Chomulungma by the Tibetans. It will be an altogether different feeling as one comes face to face with the world's tallest and most enigmatic of mountains. Mt.flights are sure to guarantee to be the highlights of your Everest experience.
