Soaring above the clouds, a Mt. Everest Flight is one of the most awe-inspiring adventures you can take in Nepal. Ideal for those who want to witness the grandeur of the Himalayas without trekking, this once-in-a-lifetime flight offers close-up views of Mount Everest (8,848.86m) and other towering peaks from the comfort of a window seat.
Operated from Kathmandu, this early morning scenic flight unveils the untouched beauty of the Himalayan range, revealing dramatic ridgelines, sprawling glaciers, and deep valleys — all crowned by the might of Everest, the roof of the world.
From the moment the aircraft lifts off, the eastern horizon unveils a chain of snow-covered giants — Langtang Lirung, Shishapangma, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and of course, Mount Everest. Each passenger gets a window seat, and many operators allow brief visits to the cockpit for panoramic views and photography.
Unlike regular flights, the Everest mountain flight is specifically designed to bring you face-to-face with the Himalayan icons. You’ll fly as close as five nautical miles from the peak, witnessing Everest's massive south face, glowing in morning light.
