If you are visiting Nepal, one thing that you should absolutely consider putting on your bucket list is Mountain Flight in Nepal. Soaring like a bird above some of the highest peaks in the world and enjoying the stunning close up views is definitely a once in a life time experience. Even the weeks long grueling trekking cannot offer the chance to witness so many peaks in the span of an hour. And one of the best parts of the whole process is the ease of access. Hoshizora Treks and Tour makes it as easy as can be for you; just buy a ticket and your flight is booked. All that’s left is to depart on the exciting hour long flight over the snowcapped peaks and glaciers.

Nepal is home to 8 peaks over 8,000 meters, with the crown jewel of the Himalayas, Mt. Everest also being located here. From Annapurna and Dhaulagiri in the west to Manaslu in the center and finally, Kanchenjunga, Makalu and Everest in the east, the Nepalese Himalayas are truly quite mesmerizing. A typical mountain flight tour begins early in the morning from Kathmandu. The flight takes off from the Kathmandu Airport and takes you over your chosen region; Everest or Annapurna. Flying over the Everest region, you get to enjoy views of the Khumbu glacier and icefall, Gokyo Lakes, Lhotse, Nuptse, Changtse, Ama Dablam and of course, Everest. Similarly, the Annapurna region treats you to fantastic views of the Annapurna range along with Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhare, Hiunchuli, Manaslu and more. During the course of the flight, your guides/hostesses will keep you informed about the peaks you are near so that you can take the perfect pictures.

One important thing to consider for the Mountain Flight in Nepal is definitely weather. Favorable weather with clear skies is preferred to enjoy the flight to the max. In case the weather is unsuitable, a refund or option to fly again is typically offered. If you are not satisfied with just the aerial views, we do also offer Heli tours in the form of Everest Base Camp Heli Tour and Annapurna Base Camp Heli Tour.

For visitors who like to take a mountain flight to the extreme, there are options to charter helicopters and fly to the Everest range, taking a short tour around the Everest valleys before landing for breakfast and then returning to Kathmandu. In addition to enjoying the aerial views of peaks, glaciers, lakes and landscapes, heli tours offer the chance to land and spend some time at the base camps of the peaks themselves.
