What is the duration of our Everest mountain flight in Nepal?

Our Everest mountain flight generally starts early in the morning as the visibility at this time will be at its finest which enhances your chances of seeing mountains in their complete splendor.

The Everest mountain flight will last for an hour and departs between 6 to 6:30 AM and lasts till 7 AM so you will have ample time to engage in other activities in Kathmandu.

However, you have to be prepared for unexpected delays due to poor weather conditions so we suggest you don’t plan any other tour or excursion for the same morning.

As you leave and rise from Kathmandu, you will be more and more nearer to the majestic Himalayas. As you gaze out of the large plane window, you will find this experience certainly worthwhile.

Truly, the Everest Mountain Flight lives up to its name and showcases to you the iconic grandeur of Everest. However, don’t limit your attention to Everest only, its adjacent peaks are also equally breathtaking.

As you soar to the sky, the landscape begins to transition dramatically from a lush green valley to a vast expanse of glistening snow and glaciers.

During the flight, you may see an impressive spectacle of 20 of the highest peaks of eastern Nepal from Langtang Lirung to Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Chamlang, and even some Tibetan Peaks.

In addition, the crew will also keep providing interesting insights about the landmarks and the stewardess will also be there to assist you. You will also have the chance to visit the cockpit where you can capture the most beautiful pictures and videos of your life.

However, since the Everest wall is shared by Nepal and China, the plane will turn back at once as soon as it crosses Everest to the east. And, as the aircraft turns back, you will again have the incredible opportunity to see the same heart-capturing scenery on the way back.

What will be the seat arrangement during the morning Everest mountain flight in Nepal?

On the Everest mountain flight tour, only window seats will be assigned to every passenger so everyone can have the best and maximum view of the mountains and the stunning panorama.

If you are traveling in the company of your partner or a friend, he or she will be seated in the same row as you but on the opposite side of the plane.

For example, if each row has two seats, you will have an empty seat beside you and you can easily chat with your friend and share your excitement about the sights. You can also capture the moment of each other along the flight.

Initially, those who are seated on the left side of the aircraft will have the remarkable view. Once the plane reaches its allowed furthest point, it will turn and give the right-side passengers their turn to enjoy the scenery.

If you think you don’t have the admirable view, then, you can sit next to your fellow companion.

Difference between the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour and the Everest Mountain Flight

We like to point out that the Everest mountain flight is a tour journey offered by local airlines such as Yeti, Guna, and Simrik of Nepal that provides you with a scenic aerial journey over Everest and other eastern Himalayas.

This flight lasts only about an hour and allows passengers to enjoy the bewitching views of the landscape and mountains. On the other hand, the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour is a more extensive experience that spans up to 5 hours duration.

It includes landing opportunities as well at Kala Patthar and the Hotel Everest View, with a stopover in Lukla. This helicopter tour involves more complex landings and therefore more pricey than the Everest mountain flight tour.

Additionally, there is also a possible concern of altitude sickness due to the landings involved. However, the helicopter tour will allow you to have a very close encounter with Everest and the peripheral peaks of the Khumbu region but the Everest mountain flight also provides a remarkable view from the air.
