Mountain Flights

Mountain flights are a great way to see some spectacular panoramas of the himalayan peaks. Flights operate daily from Kathmandu's Tribhuvan Airport and last around one hour before returning to Kathmandu. Flying at some 25,000 feet, you can look down on glaciers, towering ice peaks which rise some 28,000 feet in the case of Everest.

As the aircraft takes off and heads east, you can see the following peaks:

Shishar Pangma
Dorje Lhakpa
Phurbi-Chyachu
Choba-Bhamase
Gauri-Shankar
Melungtse
Chugimago
Numbur
Karyolung
Cho-Oyo
Pumori
Thamserku
Nuptse
Everest (Sagarmatha)
