Most domestic airlines offer mountain flights from Kathmandu. This unique experience gives visitors a quick glance at Nepal's untamed Himalayan landscapes and a fly-past through the world's tallest peak. During the flight, the flight attendant identifies the individual peaks, and the horizon appears to be an endless row of high snowy peaks stretching far into the distance . Maps of the mountain range are also available to help identify the various peaks.

Leaving Kathmandu airport early in the morning, the flight around the Everest region takes an hour and includes breathtaking views of all the major peaks near Kathmandu ValleyVisitors who want to take a mountain flight to the extreme can charter helicopters and fly to the Everest range, where they can take a short heli tour in the region before landing for breakfast and returning to Kathmandu. 

Mountain flight is a much easier way to see the Nepali Himalayan peaks. Most flights are in the mornings and operate at all times except in the monsoon seasons of June and July. If you have a higher adventure threshold, you might want to try paragliding, skydiving, or even participate in relevant training courses.
