We do organize daily mountain flights to Everest.
We think this is the lifetime achievement. You can enjoy this exotic
flight for one hour by fixed wing American Beech aircraft D
specially designed for mountain flights. The views are spectacular
and you have chance to see so many mountains even from the cockpit.
For the traveler who is unable to make a trekking trip to the
mountains either because of lack of time or physical fitness, or due
to sheer want of the adventure streak, there are mountain flights to
simulate the experience.
The one hour flight takes you within camera range of some of the
highest peaks in the world, and cruising this close to the
awe-inspiring massifs of rock and ice, is an out-of this earth
experience. The aircraft takes off and heads eastward and almost
immediately, the peaks come into view. The first peak that appears
on your horizon is the majestic Gosaithan, standing 8,013 m tall. To
its right, appears Dorje Lhakpa (6,966m), looking like a massive
figure of 8, lying prone and covered in snow. To its right is Phurbi
Chyachu , which looms over the Kathmandu Valley.
Next on your vision is Choba Bhamare, rather small in this company
at 5,933m, but singularly stubborn as it remains unconquered to this
day. Then comes Mt.Gaurishanker (7,134m), standing out sharp and
conspicuous- Hindus believe that Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati
protect this mountain.
As the flight moves toward the Eastern Himalaya, a succession of
majestic mountains follows. Melungtse, with a plateau-like top
stands at 7,023m; Chugimago is at 6,297m, and still remains to be
scaled. At 6,956m,Mt.Numbur resembles a breast, and is believed to
be the maternal source in the sky providing pure milk the Sherpas of
Solokhumbu. Then , Karyolung, a gleaming- white mountain at 6,511m,
and Cho-Oyu, the sixth highest in the world at 8,021m.
The last and most exciting stretch of the journey takes you close to
the 7,952-tall Gyachungkang, which is considered an extremely tough
climb. To its right is Pumori at 7,161m and Nuptse at 7,855m.
Finally , there is Mt. Everest itself (8,848m), called Sagarmatha by
the Nepalis and Chomolungma by the Tibetans . It is an altogether
different feeling as one comes face to face with the world's tallest
and most enigmatic of mountains.
