- 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.

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.
