Trip Overview
We recommend a mountain flight for travelers who want to be in the camera range of the highest peaks in the world. Cruising this close to the awe-inspiring massifs of rock and ice is an out-of-this-world experience. The Everest mountain flight offers the closest possible aerial views of Mt Everest, Kanchenjunga, including many other snow-capped mountains and the Tibetan Plateau.
Mountain flight is offered by a host of airlines. We offer mountain flights by Buddha Air, (19 seaters), American Beech 1900D aircraft and Yeti Air (a 19-seater DeHavill), and DHC-6/300 Series Twin Otter. We have found these to offer the best mountain flight services.
All the flights leave Kathmandu between 7.00 and 9.30 a.m. So, our private vehicle will pick you up at your hotel early around 5 to 6 am depending on your flight time. After the flight, the same vehicle will drop you off at the hotel as well.
You can enjoy a seemingly endless chain of snow-capped peaks as you fly above the clouds, over glaciers and lakes, rivers, and gorges from your private individual window. The clear, non-tinted window offers a great opportunity to experience and photograph the aerial view of the Kathmandu valley and the landscapes of Nepal.
