Mountain flight

This may be the most spectacular flight you’ll ever take! Different reputed airlines offer regular flights over the eternally snow-capped peaks of the grand Central Himalayas. Flights take off from Kathmandu in the early morning before the clouds gather or the fog rises from the innumerable beautiful valleys leading up to this out-of-the-world mountain chain.

The first peak which comes into full and astonishing view is Gosaithan (8013m) followed by Dorje Lakpa (6966m). Then the flight takes you close to Gauri Shanker (7134m). Other grand summits follow one by one to your surprise: Melungtsee, Chugimago, Gyachungkang, and Pumori. The list of peaks is indeed large so you must take a map with you and study it carefully before boarding this flight. You feel as if you could touch these six- or seven- or eight-thousanders!!
 

At the end of it all comes the mother of all mountains Mt Everest (8848m and rising annually according to geologists!), the highest point on earth -- also called Sagarmatha (by the Nepalese) and Chomolungma (by the Tibetans). When you get back to Kathmandu, you’ll realize you’ve just had an unbelievable experience high up in the air as if you’re yourself a golden eagle of the Himalayas!
