Himalayan Trekking Experts offers daily Mountain flight through various domestic airlines; take-off from Kathmandu airport in the early morning for an hour’s worth of spectacular mountains scenery. Mountain flight is suitable for all categories of traveler. For those who are restricted by time from going trekking can get panoramic view of the Himalayas in just an hour. As the aircraft lifts up and heads towards the east, passengers don’t have to wait too long to find out what is in store for them. There they are the mountains, as they always have been.

First to their far left visitors see Gosaithan, also called Shisha Pangma, Standing at the majestic height of (8013 m). Immediately to the right of Gosaithan, there appears Dorje Lakpa (6966 m). To the right of Dorje Lakpa is Phurbi-Ghyachu, which looms over the Kathmandu Valley.

As the plane moves along, the mountains come closer and closer. Next on the vision is Choba-Bhamare, the smallest one of the lot at 5,933 m but singularly stubborn as it has never been climbed. Then appears the mountain that is not only prominent in sight but also in spiritually Gauri-Shankar (7134 m). Gauri-Shankar is sharp and very conspicuous during the mountain flight.

As the plane moves towards the land of the rising sun, the eastern Himalaya a succession of glorious mountains follows. Melungtse, a Plateau like mountain stretches up to (7023 m). Chugimago at (6297m) is still a virgin. Next is Karyolung, an intensely white mountain that at (6511m) gleams with the rising sun. Cho-Oyu (8201m) is the eighth highest mountain in the world. It appears stunningly beautiful from the aircraft.

Next is Gyanchungkang, at a majestic height of (7952m) considered an extremely difficult to climb. The right of Gyanchungkang is Pumori (7161m). As passengers get closer to Everest. There’s Nuptse (7855m). Its direction from Everest. Finally, there’s Everest (8848m) itself. Much has already been written about Everest, but to actually witness it face to face during a mountain flight is something else.
