Overview

Everest Mountain flight is a day program that is designed to offer a quick trip to travelers across the eastern Himalayan mountains of Nepal at a reasonable cost. If you are in Nepal or planning to travel to Nepal but can't trek, then the Everest Mountain flight is one of the best ways to view the majestic views of Mount Everest and other giants.

This trip is also known as the Everest Experience flight. It starts from Kathmandu airport. The flight lasts 50 minutes to one hour. During this duration, you will get to witness 20 notable mountains of the eastern Himalayan range in Nepal. The Everest Mountain flight is easy and can be done by all age groups. It is also a fantastic trip to introduce the Himalayas to your kids.

What to expect during the flight?

Every participant gets a window seat to enjoy the mountain vistas. Moreover, the pilot will also call you in the cockpit for a few minutes to witness the unaltered view of the Himalayan range. Likewise, the flight attendants will help you discover all the major mountains. You will also receive a pamphlet that will show the mountains according to the flight pattern.

If you want to have a more personal and immersive experience with touchdown, then opt for our Everest Base Camp helicopter tour. During the helicopter tour, you will fly over the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. The mountain views will be much more prominent, and you will also get to enjoy a delicious breakfast at the Hotel Everest View.

Upon leaving the Kathmandu Airport as you fly, mountains like Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Shishapangma, etc, will come into your perspective. Soon, you will see a much more vast view of the Himalayan mountains and glaciers below you. Gradually, mountains such as Khumbutse, Nuptse, Thamserku, Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Baruntse, Makalu, etc will be visible.

You will enjoy every bit of the Kathmandu to Mount Everest flight. The flight is safe.

Is the Everest Mountain flight worth it?

Yes, the Everest Mountain flight is 100% worth experiencing. It is one of the cheapest, quickest, and most comfortable ways to see the grandeur of the eastern Himalayan range in Nepal. This range houses some of the tallest mountains in the world, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Cho Oyu, etc.

The price you will pay for the Everest Mountain flight is a fraction of what you would pay to trek to Everest Base Camp. However, the experience was very impressive.
