Mountain Flight in Nepal (Everest Flight)

For those who have limited time or other considerations from going trekking, there is another way to encounter with the Himalayas, mountain flight in Nepal that offer a panoramic encounter with the highest peaks on earth. The plane departs from Kathmandu for Mountain Flight, flies alongside of the Himalaya to give you eye-level views of the snow peaks, and then brings you back in one hour. Cruising close to the awesome massifs of rock and ice, the flight presents an overwhelming sight. As the aircraft takes off and heads towards the east, you do not have to wait too long to find out what's in store for you. First to your far left, you see Gosaithan, also called Shisha Pangma, standing at the majestic height of 8,013m. Immediately to the right of Gosaithan, there appears Dorje Lhakpa (6,966m), a mountain that looks like the number 8 lying down and covered with snow. To the right of Dorje Lhakpa is Phurbi-Chyachu, which looms over the Kathmandu Valley.

Next on the vision is Choba-Bhamare, the smallest one of the lot at 5,933 m but singularly inflexible, as it has never been climbed, then appears the mountain that is not only prominent in sight but also in spirituality Gauri-Shankar. Lord shiva (Shankar) and his spouse Gauri are said to protect this mountain, at the proud height of 7,134m, and the summit had a history of unsuccessful attempts until 1979. Gauri-Shanker is sharp and very conspicuous during the mountain flight. As the plane moves towards the land of rising sun, the eastern Himalaya, a succession of glorious mountains follows. Melungtse, a plateau-like mountain, stretches up to 7,023m. Chugimago at 6,297 m is still a virgin, waiting to be climbed at 6,956m; Numbur Mountain resembles a breast, the maternal source in the sky providing pure milk Sherpas of the Solukhumbu. Next is Karyolung, an intensely white mountain that at 6,511 m gleams with the rising sun. Cho-Oyu is the sixth highest mountain in the world. Reaching a height of 8,201 m, it appears stunningly beautiful from the aircraft.
