Everest Mountain Flight

"Embark on an Unforgettable Mountain Flight Experience to Everest"

Embarking on a mountain flight to Everest is an adventure like no other. As a tour that offers breathtaking views of some of the world's highest mountains, the experience is one that should not be missed. Himalaya Land Treks offers a fantastic tour that takes you on an hour-long aerial adventure over the Mount Everest (8848m), allowing you to marvel at majestic vistas of the highest peaks in the world, as well as the scenic views of the Khumbu region.

The Everest Region or Khumbu is situated almost 126km northeast of Kathmandu City, in the mountainous region of Eastern Nepal. It is home to the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO designated National Park, and the ethnic Sherpa tribe. The mountain flight takes off from Kathmandu and traverses the Everest region before heading back.

The flight commences early in the morning, mainly because the skies remain clear at this time of the day. After driving to the airport, you will embark on a flight to Everest, catching some of the pristine sights of the lushly forested hills of central-east Nepal before entering the Khumbu region.

The Everest Mountain Flight offers a breathtaking panorama of Himalayan peaks, including the Mount Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8475m), Nuptse (7861m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Cholatse (6335m), and Ama Dablam (6856m). You'll also be charmed with the beautiful natural topography of Khumbu region, colorful Sherpa settlements, and the DudhKoshi River. Some of the least-seen places during the Everest trek account for the pristine Khumbu Glacier and Khumbu Icefall, the oligotrophic Gokyo Lakes, and the Ngozumpa Glacier. The Everest Mountain Flight allows you to catch the sight of all these places without any compromises.

While flying back to Kathmandu, you can catch the unique sight of the majestic city landscape as well. The flight can be done anytime during the year, but the best seasons are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). However, monsoon (June-August) and winter (December-February) experience heavy rainfall and snowfall, respectively. These can often cause mountain flights to be delayed or canceled as well.
