Everest Mountain Flight
माउन्टेन फ्लाइट
A scenic flight of about one hour from Kathmandu Airport at dawn, flying along the Himalayas, where you can see close-up through the window Everest, Lhotse, and other 8,000-meter peaks.
Operators such as Buddha Air and Yeti Airlines run these flights from the domestic terminal at Tribhuvan Airport. Flights depart between 6 and 7 a.m. and last about an hour round trip, without landing. Every passenger has a window seat, and passengers can take turns going into the cockpit to take photos. Along the way you can see Langtang, Shishapangma, Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. Prices are about US$200 to US$250. Poor weather can cause delays or cancellations, so schedule the flight early in your itinerary to leave room for a rebooking.
