1.Mountain Everest Scenic Flight with Hotel Pickup and Dropoff

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 210 reviews · from $75Our pick

Start with a 5:30 am hotel pickup, transfer to Tribhuvan Airport, and board a small aircraft for a 45-minute flight beside Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and other Himalayan peaks. Every passenger receives a window seat, mountain map, breakfast box, and hotel return transfer.

“I have read few bad comments here, but for me everything went smoothly. Even though we had 20 mins delay, the trip was great. We were lucky to have amazing weather, and we could enjoy the heartbreaking view. Its true, the driver will only take you to the airport, then you have to do similar checking as other flight, but its not a big deal. Just confirm during checkin you have not-wing seat. But in out case, there was only few people so we all had nice seats.”
