Travel to the tallest mountain series of the world on a scenic 1 hour flight over Mt. Everest, Lhotse and Makalu.
Mountain Flight in Nepal is the most popular and affordable flight tour available to Everest. The planes are small having 15 – 20 passengers’ occupancy. Everyone gets a window seat, so don’t be afraid to lose the view. Plus, you might get opportunity to visit the cockpit and enjoy the views from the front of the plane.
Remember that mountain flight in Nepal often gets canceled when the climate is unfavorable. Be ready to wake up early and get to the airport to discover that your flight’s canceled and re-scheduled another morning. Also plane flight to Everest does not mean that you are flying close to Everest; you will see the view from considerable distance. We don’t land; just fly parallel to Himalayas and get back to Kathmandu airport.
Mountain flight trip starts early in the morning with the plane taking off from the Kathmandu airport and then flying towards the Everest. You will get the feast of Himalayan views as the aircraft approaches closer to Mt. Everest and other ice giants.
If you want closer perspective of Everest with a landing at Base Camp, then Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is the right choice. The Heli Tour lasts for 3 – 3.5 hours which includes a landing at Base Camp or Kalapatthar. We can add more adventure with a “breakfast landing” at Everest View Hotel in Khumbu region.
