Mountain Everest Scenic Flight with Hotel Pickup and Dropoff
Overview

Mobile ticket
One of the world's most exclusive tours(Everest Express or Mountain Flights). Can the magic of flight ever be carried by words? “Why do you want to climb the Everest?” was the question which prompted the now world famous quip,“because it’s there!”
We have for decades tried to comprehend what it is that drives men to push themselves to the limits of their physical and mental endurance. Many have tried but failed to summit the Everest, the highest peak in the world. It has been the exclusive realm of a select breed of mountaineers, always inaccessible to other mortals. The Everest Express, one of the world’s most exclusive tours, is a lifetime experience. A flight that takes you deep into the Himalayas, flying into valleys close to the rock face, as close as five nautical miles from the Everest itself. Now you can see the stunning beauty of nature; raw, undiluted and truly majestic.

5.00I thought it was a great way to see Mt Everest and the rest of the Himalayas. The day I went it was cloudy and raining below the clouds, but once the plane was above the clouds, it really gave you the perspective of how high are the peaks. I really enjoyed it! 5 stars
Wow what a view

5.00Wow! What a way to see the Himalayas-no climbing necessary! We got a bird’s eye view of a huge chunk of the Himalayas, including of course Mount Everest. The flight lasts 45 minutes, those on the left side getting the view on the outward half of the flight and those on the right side of the plane getting the views and photos ops on the return. Even though it was a cloudy day at ground level, it was totally clear above 5000 kilometers allowing us a perfect view of the top portion of all the peaks. A memorable flight you won’t ever forget!
Awe inspiring experience!

5.00This was a bucket list check box item and the experience lived up to my hopes. I will never be able to summit Everest, but to simply view it was awe inspiring. The crew on the plane made sure everyone saw the great mountain and everyone had a window seat. Plus, I received an OFFCIAL Certificate that I had viewed the mountain :) I would do it again without hesitation
A great way to see Everest and the Himalayas

5.00We were a little hesitant to book at first due to the price but it turned out to be fantastic and worth every penny. The driver picked us up at the hotel, took us to the airport, and then walked us to the door of the departure terminal to make sure we knew where to go and what airline to talk to inside. Be sure to request rows 1-4 so you’re not getting the prop or wing in your pictures. As has been pointed out by others, the left side gets the view of the mountains on the way out and then the right side gets it on the way back. The left side may seem preferable but my wife and I had a seat on both sides and preferred the right side view because you were closer to the mountains. Just know that the plane turns around essentially right at Everest so if you’re on the right side you need to be ready to look. Either way, all the mountains and the foothills are absolutely beautiful and this is the best way to see them.
