Mountain Flight
It is one of the attractions for those
who are interested to have a close view
of high mountain peaks. During one
hour’s flight will take one to the
camera range of some high peaks and one
will be able to take photographs of the
peaks. Many peaks such as Mt. Sagarmatha
(8,848 meters), the highest peak of the
world, and a beautiful landscape of the
Himalayan region can be seen at a close
distance. Coming close to the highest
peaks of the world will give one a
different feeling. Mountain flights are
especially recommended for those
visitors who have no time to go for
trekking and mountaineering.
Only awe-stricken silence can come close
to matching the experience of going on
mountain flight to encounter the tallest
mountains of this earth. No wonder
mountain fly-bys have become a popular
tourist attraction in Nepal. Four
airlines offer regular forages into the
snow-capped peaks of the Himalaya.
Mountain flight appeals to all
categories of travelers. For those who
are restricted by time or other
consideration from going trekking, these
flights offer a panoramic view of the
Himalaya in just one hour. Even those
visitors who like rigors of trek still
don’t miss the opportunity to “conquer”
the mountain in one fell swoop.
Travelers take off from Kathmandu in the
early morning for an hour’s worth of
spectacular mountain scenery. As the
aircraft lifts up and heads towards the
east, passengers don’t have to wait too
long to find out what’s in the store for
them. There they are – the mountains, as
they always have been.
