Everest Flight from Kathmandu

The Everest Flight Overview 

Everest Flight Tour is the stuff of dreams, providing a trip you will never forget to gaze upon the highest mountains in the world from a close vantage. There is a one-hour flight with an equally stunning vista of the beautiful great Himalayas, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.

Watching as the plane approaches Mount Everest is the best part of the trip. To stand before the highest mountain on the earth is an experience that is both emotional and humbling, and which always affords one the sense that one is in the presence of nature's power.

Scenarios from the Everest Flight Tour

The Everest Flight Tour presents a sequence of stunning scenes which completely stuns you with the majesty and harmony of the Himalayas. Once you take off, until the aircraft lands back in Kathmandu, each moment is like a dream.

1. The First Glimpse of the Mahalangur Himal Range

Approaching the Mahalangur Himal Range the sense of wonderment is overwhelming. The panorama, which includes some of the world's greatest mountains, fills the sky. It is impossible not to feel small in the presence of these giant mountains who seem to reach the sky. 

When sunlight reaches the tops, it casts a golden hue on the mountains, that makes them appear almost supernatural. The view is overwhelming, giving you a profound feeling of recognition for the physical strength and the beauty of nature. 

2. Flying Past Mount Gaurishankar

Mount Gaurishankar rises up at 7,134 meters and gets visible shortly. This sacred mountain is revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. It has two almost perfectly paired summits, and the ridges appear to be of a hand sculpted.

There’s something mystical about this mountain. The fact that it is spiritually important to the indigenous people enhances the experience. Looking at Gaurishankar, the spectator is struck by a feeling of tranquility and inquiry. The snow-covered slopes shine in the sunshine and it is impossible to not be impressed by the cultural and natural heritage that it contains.

3. The Majestic Presence of Mount Everest

Then comes the moment everyone is waiting for—the first close view of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth. The wing gently slows to give passengers a moment's chance to appreciate the landscape. From a height of 8,849 m, Everest is a visually spectacular sight, soaring over the surrounding mountains. 

This is the emotional peak of the journey. Experiencing Everest at first hand gives you a feeling of achievement, even if you aren't undertaking the climb. You are imbued with a sense of significance yet in the most wonderful sense, as if you are observing something much bigger than yourself. The experience is a mixture of pleasure, modesty, and wonder, which is woven together to form an unsurpassed experience. 

4. Glimpsing the Gokyo Lakes

During the flight, the pilot draws attention to the Gokyo Lakes, a group of turquoise alpine lakes located in the Everest area. From there, those lakes at ground level appear as scattered emerald jewels in the rock landscape. The beauty of the Gokyo Lakes is mesmerizing. 

The colour of the water, being deep turquoise, contrasts vividly with the gray rock and the white snow all around. There is a feeling of calm peace as you think of how peaceful it must be to be by these lakes. Even from air, they are all beautiful and have a fantastic impression. 

5. Exploring the Khumbu Region from Above

Soar above the Khumbu Region and see the top of one of Nepal's most famous trekking regions, from the air. The villages of Namche Bazaar and Tengboche appear in view, perched on the steep slopes. Little paths snake down the valleys, and you see people trekking to Everest Base Camp. 

This scenario feels like a glimpse into the life of the Sherpa people. You can spot their houses, fields and monasteries, and it is very interesting to picture the life of inhabitants of this beautiful and wild territory. The Khumbu Region exudes a sense of adventure and resilience, making you appreciate the effort it takes to explore these remote areas on foot. 

6. Flying Over the Mahalangur Himal Glacier System

The Mahalangur Himal Range houses some of the highest glacier areas in the world and stretched across the sky, the glaciers appear as frozen rivers intruding the mountains. The sheer scale of these glaciers is astonishing. Looking at these glaciers, clearly offers a different insight into nature's power. 

There is a feeling of eternity, a sense that those glaciers have always existed in great landscapes, evolving steadily and inexorably. The white and blue colours of the ice are beautiful and because of the visible textures from the plane, the scene is even more surreal. 

The Emotional Impact of the Everest Flight Tour

It is not only sightseeing on The Everest Flight Tour, but also. It is an emotional process which brings you to feel a link to something bigger than yourself. The majesty of the Himalayas evokes a sense of wonder, and so does the historical importance of Mount Gaurishankar, which reminds us of the strong bond between nature and humankind. 

Each situation, from the moment the aircraft takes off to the moment it lands, is a scene you’ll never be able to forget. Not only the flight provides you with the opportunity to see the natural splendours of Nepal, but also the feeling of calm, satisfaction and gained appreciation of the magnificent nature from one of the most beautiful lands of the earth.
