Overview
Just after sunrise, the plane climbs out of Kathmandu and turns towards the Himalaya. Peak after peak slides past the window: Langtang, Gauri Shankar and, on a clear day, Everest itself, glowing in the early light.
Every passenger is given a window seat, and the crew point out the mountains as you go. It’s a wonderful option if you’d love to see Everest without the trek.

Airlines usually offer another date or a refund; we’ll confirm the exact terms before you pay.
