Himalayan Flight

Overview

A Himalayan Mountain flight is done by various domestic airlines; we take-off from Kathmandu airport in the early morning for an hour’s worth of spectacular mountains scenery.

Finally, there’s Everest (8,848m) itself, known as Sagarmatha by the Nepalese and Chomolungma by the Tibetans.
