About this tour
Discover the Himalayas on a one-hour Everest scenic flight from Kathmandu, offering mountain views without the need for trekking. This morning experience combines a guaranteed window seat with private hotel transfers, making it an easy addition to your Nepal itinerary.
Your journey begins with a private transfer from your hotel to Kathmandu Airport. After check-in and security procedures, board your aircraft and take off above the Kathmandu Valley. As the city gives way to mountain scenery, admire snow-covered summits, glaciers and remote Himalayan landscapes.
Weather and visibility permitting, enjoy views of Mount Everest and neighbouring peaks such as Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Onboard commentary helps you identify the mountains along the route, while your window seat offers opportunities for photography. The flight provides scenic views of the Everest region rather than flying over the summit.
After approximately one hour, return to Kathmandu Airport, receive a flight completion certificate and meet your driver for the transfer back to your hotel.
Flights are subject to weather conditions and airline scheduling. Mountain visibility and the peaks seen may vary. Depending on the situation, the pilot may invite passengers to the cockpit to take photographs of Mount Everest.

What makes this tour special
Itinerary
05:30 – Pickup from your Hotel and drive to Tribhuvan Domestic Airport
Your Everest mountain flight in Nepal will begin early in the morning. At around 5:30 AM, our transportation will arrive to receive you from your overnight hotel in Kathmandu.
Our representative with our driver will come with you to drop you off Tribhuvan domestic terminal. Within 15 to 30 minutes, you will be dropped off at the airport’s departure entrance.
06:00 – Mt. Everest Flight for 1 hours
At Tribhuvan Domestic Airport, you will then proceed to the airline counter where you will receive your boarding passes along with a map that displays the names of the mountains that you will see during your flight.
After this, you will have to go through the security check and then wait for the boarding announcement. Meanwhile, officials at the Tribhuvan domestic Airport will check the weather conditions for the departure of your mountain flight.
Then, after you get a green signal, a bus will transport you to your aircraft which is generally a small turboprop that features large windows to give you enhanced visibility of the landscape.
Before the small aircraft takes off, the stewardess will show you a brief safety demonstration. The Mount Everest/ Himalayan ranges flight tour is similar to any other domestic flight but in this case, you will occupy only window seats so everyone gets the maximum visibility of the mountains.
As soon as the aircraft ascends from Kathmandu, you will begin to see the expansive breathtakingly striking views of the distinct peaks such as Langtang Lirung, Gauri Shankar, and Melungtse.
However, Everest will be the one to steal the spotlight, the top tallest mountain. You will also see the white silhouettes of Nuptse, Pumori, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Chamlang, and Lhotse just lurking behind Everest.
During the flight, the flight attendants will offer you row by row explanation of the mountains that you will see from your window seat. Even if you have a map of the Himalayan Peaks, identifying each peak on your own will be quite challenging, so it will be a great assistance.
Additionally, the crew and the pilot will also give you commentary, and detail you about various peaks and landmarks that you will get sight of so you will not miss any important sights. You can also capture the stunning scenery through photos and videos.
07:00 –Arrival at Tribhuvan domestic Airport
7:30- Airport. Drive from Kathmandu Airport to your Hotel
After about an hour in the air, the aircraft will make a U-turn and head back to Kathmandu so you will have another chance to once again admire the graceful Himalayas of Nepal.
The flight will come to an end as it lands you back at Tribhuvan Domestic Airport; then you will be presented with a certificate of completion for the morning Everest mountain flight in Nepal as a souvenir.
Now, you will be taken back to your overnight hotel using the same vehicle that initially took you to Tribhuvan Domestic Airport.
Note: Time may change due to weather and air traffic.
