Experience the Majesty of Mount Everest from the Sky – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Aerial Adventure
Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas on this unforgettable Mount Everest Scenic Flight from Kathmandu, complete with hotel transfers, light refreshments, and a Certificate of Achievement. Designed for travellers short on time or looking for a non-trekking option, this one-hour flight offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness the world’s highest peaks, including the mighty Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), from the comfort of a pressurized aircraft with guaranteed window seats for every passenger.
Early Morning Departure for the Best Views
Your day begins early with a convenient hotel pickup around 5:30 AM by our professional, English-speaking driver. After a comfortable transfer to the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport, you'll be assisted with check-in and provided all necessary documents including your boarding pass. Morning departures are chosen to ensure the clearest weather conditions and the best chance of uninterrupted panoramic views.
Scenic Flight Over the Himalayas
Take off for a breathtaking one-hour flight that follows a spectacular route along the Himalayan range. Shortly after departure, you'll enjoy views of Langtang Himal, Jugal Himal, and Gauri Shankar before reaching the highlight of the journey—Mount Everest itself. The aircraft circles the peak to ensure that every traveller gets unobstructed views and photo opportunities.
Along the way, marvel at other iconic peaks such as Melungtse, Cho Oyu, Shisha Pangma, and Lhotse, all standing as sentinels of the Himalayan frontier. The captain and crew will provide commentary during the flight to help you identify the major landmarks.
Certificate & Light Refreshments
Upon landing back in Kathmandu, you'll receive a souvenir Certificate of Achievement, a memorable token of your Everest flight experience. Before returning to your hotel, you’ll also receive a light breakfast box, which includes bottled water, a muffin, donut, seasonal fruit, banana, and juice.
Smooth Transfers & Return to Hotel
Your English-speaking driver will be waiting to escort you back to your hotel. You'll arrive in time to enjoy a relaxed breakfast and reflect on the breathtaking beauty you’ve just witnessed from above.
