Everest Experience Mountain Flight in Nepal

Mountain flights in Nepal appeal to all types of travelers. For those with limited time or physical constraints preventing them from trekking, an Everest Experience flight tour offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, in just one hour. Even avid trekkers find it irresistible, as it provides a unique opportunity to witness the grandeur of the mountains from above.

A visit to Nepal would be incomplete without truly experiencing what makes it so spectacular—the Himalayas. The best time to capture their sparkling beauty is from September to April, during the winter months when the snow-capped peaks shine brilliantly, and the lakes and glaciers reflect crystal-clear waters flowing from the mountains.

Nothing compares to the sheer majesty of the Himalayas. The Everest Experience flight brings you face-to-face with Mount Everest-so close, it feels as if you could reach out and touch it.

The flight lasts 50 minutes to an hour, departing from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), Kathmandu. As you soar through the sky, you will witness 20 of Nepal’s highest peaks, starting with Langtang Lirung, the closest peak to Kathmandu. The journey then takes you eastward toward Mount Everest, continuing to Chamlang Peak before the plane makes a turn, giving passengers a second chance to take in the breathtaking views on the return journey to Kathmandu.

Beyond offering an unforgettable aerial experience, mountain flights also provide a deeper understanding of Nepal’s geography. While this activity has a relatively short history, it has quickly gained immense popularity among travelers seeking to witness the Himalayas in all their glory.

Multiple airlines operates daily mountain flights, departing early in the morning-when the Himalayan views are at their finest!
