Nepal Mountain Flight and Mountains of Nepal


Mountain flight appeals to all categories of travelers, trekkers. For those people who has desire to make Mountain flight in Nepal , lack of time or physical fitness, can experience breath-taking as well as the closer panorama of the Himalayan Ranges with the Mountain Flights. Mountain flights are offered by different Domestic Airlines (Buddha airlines, Yeti airlines, Gorkha airlines etc) in Kathmandu Valley operating their small but safest aircrafts

The mountain flight gives the best opportunity to get the closest and the best view of Mount Everest (8,850mts) & other mountains such as; Shisa Pangma (8,013m), Gauri Shanker (7,134m), Melungtse (7,023m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), Pumori (8,171m), Nuptse (7,855m), Lhotse (8,516m) & Amadablam (6,856m). The flights are operated every morning from Kathmandu airport which fly at an average altitude of 6,500 - 7,000 meters. Circling Mount Amadabalm to enter the Khumbu valley, we take the passengers almost five nautical miles from the highest peak in the world - Mt. Everest (weather permitting). We provide each passenger with individual window seats (guaranteed) during the entire flight. Moreover, all our passengers are invited to the cockpit from where they can take some spectacular pictures of the world’s tallest mountains.

Want to know mountains of Nepal including highest mountains of the world:

Nepal contains part of the Himalaya, the highest mountain range in the world. Eight of the fourteen eight-thousanders are located in the country, either in whole or shared across a border with Tibet or India.

Many come here to climb the mountains and at the same time test their skills in mountaineering, their mental and physical strength and their endurance. Others are drawn to the mountains of Nepal for more spiritual reasons. Whatever be the case, travelers from any country can enjoy Nepal's mountains – even if you only see them from a distance.

It is the duty of all humankind to preserve these priceless mountains. we need to make sure that we visit only as respectful observers and not as messy, disorderly conquerors.
