Nothing compares to the sheer beauty of the Himalayas & one can’t really ask for more, after everything that the mountains have to offer. Without contemplating much, we booked our tickets for this ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.
What is the ‘Everest Mountain Flight’ all about & how much does it cost?
While we thought that it’s gonna cost a bomb and drill a hole in our pockets, we were pretty surprised to see that the tickets weren’t that expensive! At just 7000 INR (approx + taxes) per person, you can soar across the breathtaking Himalayas of Nepal and capture the beguiling view of gorges, cliffs, and mountains floating in between the white smoky clouds.
Like I said previously, climbing up the mighty Himalayas isn’t for all, but then, we do deserve to witness the stunning beauty of nature; raw, undiluted, and truly majestic mountains. Buddha Air provides the Everest Mountain Flight every day from Kathmandu, early in the mornings (usually at 6:00 AM), when the Himalayan views are the best. The flight time varies from 50 minutes to an hour and would mesmerize you with a glimpse of 20 of the highest peaks to the East of Nepal – starting from the Langtang Lirung Peak which is the closest peak to Kathmandu, then moving towards Sagar Matha (that’s what they call Mt. Everest) in the East and finally fly to Chamlang Peak.
From there, the plane takes a turn and we got a second chance to look at the view while on our way back to Kathmandu. It seemed to be the fastest one hour of our lives (and undoubtedly, the BEST!).
