Overview
Starting of Flight To Mount Everest
The flight takes off from the Kathmandu domestic airport. As the weather deteriorates in higher elevations as the day proceeds the flight starts early in the morning. The one-hour flight is the perfect way to discover the panoramic view of the Himalayas.
As the aircraft takes off you will be heading towards the eastern section of the country. Once the plane gains elevation witness Gosaithan, also called Shisha Pangma, standing at a majestic height of 8,013 meters/ 26,290 feet. Just at the immediate right of Gosaithan. Dorje Lhakpa appears in its grand state, a mountain that almost looks like a figure 8 lying in the snow at an elevation of 7,000 meters/ 22,000 feet. To the right of Dorje Lakpa is Phurbi-Chyachu, which looms over the Kathmandu Valley. As the plane glides along, you will come closer to the mountains.
