Mountain Flight Over the Himalayas

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas with a scenic mountain flight, offering a panoramic encounter with the world’s highest peaks. In just an hour, you’ll witness the snow-covered giants at eye level, feeling as if you could reach out and touch them. The journey begins from Kathmandu, soaring eastward over towering massifs of rock and ice, presenting an awe-inspiring view of the majestic mountains.

As the flight progresses, you’ll see Shishapangma (8013m), followed by Dorje Lakpa (6966m) and Phurbi Chyachu, which overlook the Kathmandu Valley. The journey continues past Gauri Shankar (7134m), a spiritually significant peak in Hindu mythology, protected by Lord Shiva and Goddess Gauri. Moving forward, the plane glides by Melungtse (7023m), Cho-Oyu (8201m), and Gyachungkang (7952m), a peak considered extremely difficult to climb. As you approach the grand finale, you’ll witness the west-facing Nuptse (7855m) before finally arriving at the iconic Mount Everest (8848m), known as Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet. Seeing Everest face to face from the sky is a truly unforgettable experience.
