Real experiences from real travelers
The most incredible thing I have ever seen. We were picked up at 5 am and were in the air by 6:30. Everest is huge, and the window seat was perfect.
I was hesitant about the cost, but seeing the Himalayas from this height is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The pilot even let us peek into the cockpit!
Our flight was delayed by 45 minutes due to morning fog, but once we were up, it was magical. The staff kept us informed throughout.
The booking through the platform was seamless. The van was on time and the flight certificate is a lovely souvenir. Everest looked majestic.
I didn't have time for the EBC trek, so this flight was the perfect way to see the mountains. Truly a spiritual experience seeing the sun hit the peaks.
Make sure to bring a good camera. The windows were clean and offered great views of Lhotse and Makalu as well as Everest.
As a nervous flyer, I felt very safe. The plane was modern and the pilots were very professional. Highly recommended for any visitor to Kathmandu.
You haven't seen Nepal until you've seen it from above. The transition from the green valley to the white peaks is stunning.
