Highlights
  • Sagarmatha National Park - Everest From Plane

The flight usually lasts between 50 minutes up to an hour. The planes take off either from TIA, Kathmandu. During the flight, you will catch a glimpse of 20 of the highest peaks to the East of Nepal starting from the Langtang Lirung peak which is the closest peak to Kathmandu, then move towards Mt. Everest in the East and finally fly to Chamlang peak. From there, the plane takes a turn and the passengers get a second look at the view while they make their way back to Kathmandu.

The mountain flight not only allows you to enjoy fantastic views but also helps you to understand the geography of Nepal. Although mountain flights do not have a long history, it has gained popularity among tourists for the beauty that it promises. Buddha Air provides mountain flights every day, early in the mornings, when the Himalayas views are the best!

• Flight starts at 6:00 AM early in the morning
• Mt. Everest 20 miles from your window
• Witness fantastic Himalayan peaks, lakes and glaciers

While on board, you will receive a ‘Himalayan Peaks’ map from our flight attendant. This map contains information about the different peaks you will see during the mountain flight. You will also get a briefing from our flight attendant of the visible mountains. You will see stunningly beautiful mountains that are above 8000 meters such as Cho-Oyu, Shisha Pangma, Mt. Everest and Lhotse from a guaranteed window seat on the aircraft.

Additional Information

The Everest Experience is an intimate aerial sightseeing expedition provided via plane. Immerse yourself in the stunning landscape and perhaps, you may discover something you’ve been missing or find something you’ve sought, all this time.

After all, a journey to Nepal isn’t complete without truly grasping its inherent aesthetic appeal. The most opportune times to enjoy the dazzling peaks are during the winter months, from September to April. This is when the pristine snow gleams radiantly on the mountains, and lakes and glaciers also radiate with clear water cascading down from the Himalayas.

Nothing can match the unparalleled beauty or overwhelming awe that the Himalayas can offer. Embrace the ultimate mountain flight, the Everest Experience, where we bring you face-to-face with Mt. Everest, so close you could almost reach out and touch it.

View of the Top of the World! - What a spectacular experience flying out to the Himalayas and seeing the world’s tallest peaks. The jet we flew on (a CRJ200) was very comfortable and the crew pointed out the different peaks for us which was very nice. We would highly recommend this flight on the jet which was flown by Shree Airlines. If you’re considering whether or not to book this flight, don’t hesitate. It was an awesome experience! Himalaya Holiday service was great in arranging this whole mountain flight experience for us. Buddhi even escorted us to the airport and arranged better seats away from the wing so our views would be totally unobstructed. We were so pleased with their service that my husband and I booked two additional days of tours of the UNESCO heritage sights in Kathmandu. Our guide Prakash and driver were great for that tour as well.

WOW!! Incredible views of the Himalayas! - Wow! What incredible views provided on this flight of some of the world’s largest peaks including of course Mount Everest. We were given 2 options of airplanes to fly on. I would highly recommend choosing the mountain flight on the CRJ-200 jet (operated by Shree Airlines). It flies higher and you arrive at the Himalayas much faster than you would in the turboprop aircraft. The CRJ jet also provides more unobstructed views. The whole process was made so incredibly easy by Buddhi of Himalaya Holiday Service. Buddhi provides some of the best customer service I have ever experienced in all of my travels, he even escorted our group to the airport and arranged the best seats in the plane for us. Thanks for a memorable trip to Nepal! We will definitely return and will only use Himalaya Holiday service for our tours.
