Everest Mountain Flight overview

The Everest Mountain Flight is one of the most thrilling ways to witness the majestic Himalayas up close, without trekking. The scenic flight takes around 50 minutes to 1 hour, departing from the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), Kathmandu.

During this breathtaking journey, you’ll witness over 20 of Nepal’s highest peaks. The flight begins with Langtang Lirung, the closest peak to Kathmandu, then heads east towards Mt.
