We have just returned from a 14 day, 11 day hike with Raj and Durga from Team Himalaya to Everest Base Camp. From the minute we landed to our departure we were properly looked after and cared for by Team Himalaya. The trek to and from Everest Base Camp was wonderful, our guides and porters really looked after us and were incredibly knowledgeable. In Nepal things can go wrong especially with flights to and from Lukla but Team responded magnificently and found alternative solutions. If this is on your bucket list as ours and you are looking for a company to organise this with I would 100% recommend Raj.
Mountain flights are among the most adventurous yet luxurious experiences in Nepal. It is getting increasingly popular by the day as another alternative to be eye to eye with Everest and other incredible eight-thousanders within just minutes! If you cannot commit the time and energy to trek through the strenuous trekking trails to be in the close vicinity of the Himalayas, mountain flight is the perfect choice for you.
Even arriving in Nepal by daytime flight will offer visitors stunning mountain vistas. Be it flying in from the west past Annapurna and Dhaulagiri or from the north past Everest and Kanchenjunga, the Nepalese horizon is characterised by a jagged line of snowcapped mountains. However, luckily for you, you can get even closer to these peaks as major domestic carriers around the country operate mountain flights. From airports in Kathmandu, Lukla, and Pokhara, visitors can embark on a mountain flight over majestic mountains, glaciated passes, and picturesque rural villages set against panoramic landscapes. Mountain flights give you the rare chance to bask in the wonders of nature and experience Nepal’s lovely Himalayas from the comfort of your plane.
