Mountain flight in Nepal, life time experience


For those who are restricted by time or other considerations from going trekking, there are mountain flights that offer a panoramic encounter with the highest peaks on earth. The plane departs from Kathmandu and flies alongside the Himalaya to give you eye-level views of the snow peaks and then brings you back in one hour. Cruising close to the awesome massifs of rock and ice, the flight presents a mind-boggling sight. As the aircraft takes off and heads towards the east, you don’t have to wait too long to find out what's in store for you. First to your far left, you see Gosaithan, also called Shisha Pangma, standing at the majestic height of 8,013m. Immediately to the right of Gosaithan, there appears Dorje Lhakpa (6,966m), a mountain that looks like the number 8 lying down and covered with snow. To the right of Dorje Lhakpa is Phurbi-Chyachu, which looms over the Kathmandu Valley.

As the plane glides along, the mountains come closer and closer. Next on the vision is Choba-Bhamare, the smallest one of the lot at 5,933 m but singularly stubborn as it has never been climbed. Then appears the mountain the mountain that is not only prominent in sight but also in spirituality Gauri-Shanker. Lord shiva (Shanker) and his consort Gauri are said to protect this mountain, at the proud height of 7,134m, and the summit had a history of unsuccessful attempts till 1979. Gauri-Shanker is sharp and very conspicuous during th amountain flight. As the plane moves towards the land of rising sun, the eastern Himalaya, a succession of glorious mountains follow. Melungtse, a plateau-like mountain, stretches up to 7,023m. Chugimago at 6,297 m is still a virgin, waiting to be climbed. At 6,956m, Numbur mountain resembles a breast, the maternal source in the sky providing pure milk Sherpas of the Solukhumbu. Next is Karyolung, an intensely white mountain that at 6,511 m gleams with the rising sun. Cho-Oyu is the sixth highest mountain in the world. Reaching a height of 8,201 m, it appears stunningly beautiful from the aircraft.


What is Everest Mountain flight and why I suggest don't miss this when you visit Nepal??

Everest Mountain Flight is an hour long early morning flight in Kathmandu Nepal by domestic airlines which flies on the north east of Nepal along with high Himalayan ranges. As we know that the top of the world is Mount Everest, to see this main purpose of this flight along with the other 8 highest peaks in the world. After doing this you may have some idea about the magnificent Himalayas and you can be proud enough to say that you have see the highest or tallest point of this world.

"More over you will receive - CERTIFICATE - from the airlines that you have seen the top of the world Mount Everest"

For the traveler who is unable to make a trekking trip to the mountains either because of lack time or physical fitness, or due to sheer want of the adventure streak, there is Mountain Flight to simulate the experience. For millennia, the Himalayas have had a grip on the world's imagination. The sheer majesty and grandeur of the lofty, snow-capped mountains have inspired awe, curiosity and reverence. Tens of thousands of visitors from the world over come to Nepal annually, as English climber George Leigh Mallory would say, because they are there. But not all who visit the Himalayan kingdom can afford the time and the stamina to be on the mountains. You can, however, afford to be with us on our exhilarating Himalayan Spectacular that shows you the mountains from the closest range possible.

Everest Experience Flight
We are proud to be part of a country, nestled in the laps of the beautiful Himalayas. For many years, people have been drawn by the mystery and beauty that has surrounded them. Now with our Everest Experience flight we make your visit to the highest peak just as easy.
The "must-see" landmark of Nepal is Mt. Everest-the highest mountain in the world. If you believe that seeing Everest involves a strenuous high altitude trek, then think again! With Buddha Air's spectacular "Everest Experience Flights", coming face to face with this majestic peak is as easy as taking just another flight-at the same fare as any other domestic airlines, with a guaranteed window seat.
Each One will get a separate window to see glorious mountains along with World's eight Highest Mountains.

Cost US $ 157.00 + Airport Tax : $3.00 + Dom. Airport Drop & Pickup : $ 30.00
= Total US $ 190.00


Best Season for Everest Mountain Flight:
Though Mountain Flight is enjoyed by thousands all the year round, through our experience, we would strongly recommend the time period from February to April and October & November as prime time to enjoy the mountain flights.
We would like to invite you to join us to see, feel and discover marvelous legendary Himalayas. It would be our pleasure to present you the certificate of honor for the trip which we are sure gonna beyond the imagination.
Any time of the day when you feel like going closer to Himalayas...remember us!

Photos from Annapurna Circuit Trek

Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the world's most famous treks. It is considered as one of the busy trek routes and  starts with a busy road extending up to the valley of Besisahar. The walk meanders easily to begin with,  then the path connects the valley of the Marsyangdi River with the Kaligandaki. Thorung La (5416m.) is the highlight of the trek and one can see gigantic Himalayan and pass through subtropical to alpine region.

Boudhanath Stupa Tour

Bouddhanath is among the largest stupas in South Asia, and it has become the focal point of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. The white mound looms thirty-six meters overhead. The stupa is located on the ancient trade route to Tibet, and Tibetan merchants rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many of them decided to live around Bouddhanath. They established many gompas, and the "Little Tibet" of Nepal was born.

This "Little Tibet" is still the best place in the Valley to observe Tibetan lifestyle. Monks walk about in maroon robes. Tibetans walk with prayer wheels in their hands, and the rituals of prostration are presented to the Buddha as worshipers circumambulate the stupa on their hands and knees, bowing down to their lord.
Many people believe that Bouddhanath was constructed in the fifth century, but definite proof is lacking. The stupa is said to entomb the remains of a Kasyap sage who is venerable both to Buddhists and Hindus. One legend has it that a woman requested a Valley king for the donation of ground required to build a stupa. She said she needed land covered by one buffalo's skin and her wish was granted by the King. She cut a buffalo skin into thin strips and circled off a fairly large clearing. The king had no choice but to give her the land. 

The Bouddha area is a visual feast. Colorful thangkas, Tibetan jewellery, hand-woven carpets, masks, and khukuri knives are sold in the surrounding stalls. Smaller stupas are located at the base. Gompa monasteries, curio shops, and restaurants surround Bouddhanath. Conveniently situated restaurants with roof-top patios provide good food and excellent views of Bouddhanath.
