All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
A Kathmandu mountain flight is the most accessible way to encounter the 'Roof of the World' without the weeks of grueling trekking required to reach Everest Base Camp. Departing daily from the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport, these scenic flights take you on a breathtaking 1-hour journey along the spine of the Himalayas. You will soar past twenty of the highest peaks on Earth, including Shisha Pangma, Melungtse, Cho Oyu, and the legendary Mount Everest (8,848.86m). Most operators utilize small, high-altitude turboprop aircraft specifically designed for sightseeing, ensuring every passenger enjoys an unobstructed view of the crystalline peaks and deep glacial valleys that define Nepal's rugged landscape.
We exclusively partner with established airlines like Buddha Air and Yeti Airlines via trusted platforms like Viator to ensure safety and reliability.

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.

The flight itself typically lasts between 50 and 60 minutes. However, the entire experience including hotel transfers and airport check-in takes about 3 hours.
