One hour, the whole Himalaya, Everest at eye level
The Everest mountain flight is the shortest way to stand face to face with the highest mountains on earth. You fly out of Kathmandu in the early morning, along the whole Himalayan skyline to the Everest massif and back, in about an hour, and you are back at your hotel before most of the city has had breakfast. Every seat is a window seat, everyone is called up to the cockpit for the view, and your hotel pickup and drop are included. It is the one thing I recommend to anyone who cannot give two weeks to a trek but does not want to leave Nepal without meeting the mountain.
Your morning
At about five in the morning we pick you up from your Kathmandu hotel and drive you to the domestic terminal, where our own representative checks you in. You board at around half past six. The flight is roughly an hour, out along the Himalaya to the Everest massif and back, and every passenger has a window seat and a turn in the cockpit for the view. If the flight leaves on time, you land and are back at your hotel by about eight, with the rest of the day free.
Weather, and what happens if the flight cannot go
Mountain flights only fly in clear conditions, so delays and cancellations do happen. If the flight cannot operate on your day, we move you to the next available departure at no cost, or refund what you have paid, less taxes, bank and card charges and any money already spent on your trip, if you cannot wait. The weather is out of everyone's hands.
What it costs
US$450 per person (US$420 each for groups of 5 or more), paid in full to confirm your seat. There is no deposit, because this is a flight and not a trek. The price covers your flight ticket and the transfer from your hotel to the airport and back, with a guaranteed window seat and all airport and government taxes included.
Secure payment by Himalayan Bank.
