Mountain flight
is a much easier way to see the Nepali Himalayan peaks. Most
flights are in mornings and operate at all times except in the
monsoon seasons of June and July. Air planes fly along the
Himalayan range and also beyond for passengers to get a good
view of the Himalayan range. All the domestic airlines of Nepal
offer various forms of mountain flights.
The flight takes you within camera range of some of the highest
peaks in the world, and cruising this close to the awe-inspiring
massifs of rock and ice is an out-of-this world experience.
A few domestic airlines offer mountain flight from Kathmandu to
see Mt. Everest. This unique experience gives visitors a quick
glance at Nepal's untamed landscapes and a fly-past through the
world's tallest peak.
The aircraft takes off and heads eastward and almost immediately
the peaks come into view. The first peak that appears on your
horizon is the majestic Gosaithan, also called Shisha Pangma,
standing at a height of 8,013m. To its right appears Dorje
Lhakpa (6,966m), looking like a massive figure of eight lying
prone and covered in snow. To its right is Phurbi Chyachu, which
looms over the Kathmandu valley.
