Mountain Flight
A mountain flight in Nepal is the ultimate, swift journey to witness the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas. Renowned for its spectacular views, this hour-long adventure takes you over iconic peaks such as Mt. Everest, Fishtail, and Annapurna.
The flight departs from Kathmandu airport in the early morning, ensuring optimal visibility of the majestic mountain range. This experience provides a unique opportunity for trekkers to realize their dream of conquering the mighty Mt. Everest without the risks associated with peak climbing.
As the aircraft heads eastward, the Himalayas unveil themselves in all their glory. Gosaithan, or Shisha Pangma, stands tall at 8,013 m, followed by the distinctive Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m) and Phurbi-Ghyachu overlooking the Kathmandu Valley. The journey continues, revealing Choba-Bhamare, a formidable mountain at 5,933 m, and the spiritually significant Gauri-Shankar, guarded by Lord Shiva and his consort Gauri at 7,134 m.
Moving eastward, the landscape unfolds with Melungtse (7,023 m), Chugimago (6,297 m), Numbur (6,956 m), and the visually striking Karyolung at 6,511 m. The eighth highest mountain, Cho-Oyu (8,201 m), captivates with its sheer beauty.
Gyanchungkang, an intensely challenging climb at 7,952 m, stands next to Pumori (7,161 m). Approaching Mt. Everest, Nuptse (7,855 m) and the iconic Everest (8,848 m) itself, known as Sagarmatha and Chomolungma respectively, complete the panorama. Witnessing Everest face to face during this mountain flight is an awe-inspiring experience, unveiling the highest spot on earth as an enduring enigma.
