Highlights
Itinerary
Your Everest Mountain Flight experience begins early in the morning. A representative from Adventure Himalaya Nepal will pick you up from your hotel in Kathmandu and transfer you to the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport. Early departures are essential to catch the clearest weather window, as mountain visibility is best just after sunrise.
👉🏾Airport Check-in and Pre-flight Briefing
Upon arrival at the airport, our staff will assist you with the check-in process. After receiving your boarding pass, you will wait in the domestic departure lounge.
Airlines usually provide a short briefing and a Himalayan peak chart, helping you identify each mountain during the flight.
👉🏾Everest Mountain Flight (Approx. 60–75 Minutes)
The aircraft takes off as the first rays of sunlight touch the Himalayas. Shortly after departure, peaks such as Langtang Lirung and Dorje Lakpa come into view. As the flight progresses eastward, the views become increasingly dramatic with Gaurishankar, a sacred mountain believed to be the protector of the Everest region.
Soon, you will witness the majestic Cho Oyu (8,188m), followed by the stunning face of Lhotse (8,516m) and Nuptse (7,861m). The highlight of the flight is the unforgettable moment when the aircraft reaches the closest aerial point to Mount Everest, allowing passengers to clearly see its summit and surrounding glaciers.
The flight continues towards Makalu (8,485m) before turning back towards Kathmandu, completing an awe-inspiring Himalayan loop.
👉🏾Return to Kathmandu and Hotel Drop-off
After landing back in Kathmandu, our representative will escort you to your waiting vehicle and transfer you back to your hotel.
The experience concludes by mid-morning, leaving you with the rest of the day free to explore Kathmandu or relax.
