The Popular Everest Mountain flight is a highly recommended activity in Nepal as it offers a lifetime experience to the attendees. The Mountain flight scheduled from Kathmandu, early in the morning at 6:30 A.M flies over the sky in the clouds to the mighty Himalayas. The one hour flight in the sky gives you ample opportunity to enjoy the stunning views of the snow-capped pinnacles without even bothering to trek for 14, 15 days to the base camp. This flight captures the views of mountains extending from Langtang Lirung to Mount Everest in a single sight of the beholder.
Although the history of the mountain flight is not very long as of the Heli tours, it still has gained popularity among the people. However, the popularity of the mountain flight solely depends upon the sight of the pleasant Himalayas it offers to the participants. Speaking of the pleasant sights, the flight offers dramatic Himalayan scenery of the Khumbu region including Mt. Everest (8,848m), Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,501m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m), Lhotse Shar (8,383m), Makalu (8475m), Mt. Shisha Pangma (8,013m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), Mt. Pumori (7,161m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,201m), Mt. Thamserku (6,608m), Mt. Kusum Kangaroo (6,367m.) and numerous other snow-capped peaks. Apart from the peaks, the flight also offers a glimpse of Tibetan Plateau, Himalayan glacier, and Rivers as well. On a clear day, you can also witness the sunrise behind the Himalayas from the cockpit.
To help you understand the geography and mountains you can see during this trip, you will be given a 'Himalayan Peaks map' that contains the information on different peaks that is visible from the flight. Although the mountain flight is available throughout the year, the month of March, April, May, October, November, and December are believed to be the favorable time since the view is clear and all you can see is the shiny snow-capped peaks.
Since the Mountain flight is the easiest and cheapest way to get the closest views of the mountains in the shortest time, do not forget to book this amazing flight on your next Nepal visit. With a fixed window seat, you will be able to undoubtedly enjoy the flight and get mesmerized with the awe-inspiring views.
