Everest mountain flight by Regular plane Vs Helicopter flights
The Everest mountain flight can be experienced either by a regular plane or a helicopter, each offering a unique perspective. A regular plane flight is a more affordable option, lasting around 55 to 60 minutes, with every passenger getting a window seat to enjoy panoramic views of the Himalayan range, including Mount Everest. However, the plane does not land, and photography is limited to views from the window.
In contrast, a Helicopter Ride to Everest flight provides a more exclusive and immersive experience, flying lower and offering closer views of Everest and surrounding peaks. It also includes the opportunity to land at Kalapathar (5,545m) or Everest View Hotel, allowing passengers to step out, take photographs, and experience the high-altitude atmosphere.
Though significantly more expensive, the helicopter tour is ideal for those seeking a luxurious and intimate encounter with Everest. Both options are weather-dependent, requiring clear skies for optimal visibility.
Everest mountain flight cancellation policy.
In the event of bad weather or if conditions prevent the Everest flight, the flight will be canceled. Similarly, if clouds obstruct the view of the high mountains, the pilot or air hostess will announce the cancellation due to weather conditions. Rest assured, we can reschedule your Everest flight tour for the following morning. Alternatively, if you prefer, we will provide a full refund upon request.
Nepal Mountain Flight Review
Competitive price, remarkable view
After a week’s trek in Langtang panorama, Ammar suggested for Mountain flight to see all the high mountains just in an hour. So we decided to choose this open at the last minute before we return home.
Ammar, owner of Gokyo agency helped with all booking for the Everest Mountain flight in yeti air and also arranged a private transfer from Thamel to the airport and back.
The flight over the massive Himalayas is gorgeous. Taking mountain photograph from window seats are not wonderful. You alternate peering out the pilot’s window which is vastly improved – you see a bigger view and the windows are clear for taking pictures. The pilots and specialists are truly decent about bringing up the different mountains.

Thank you Dave for your feedback. Hoping to serve you again for next adventures in Nepal.
Everest flight touched my heart
Although there are a couple of airlines operating mountain flights, we choose Buddha air. We get special discount airfare of US$ 193 per head. All of us, we luckily have a private window before the wings. Our skyline flight time is about 55 minutes.
The Air hostess was pointing us to the summit of the mountain that we are seeing from the aircraft window. As it is a tiny plane, there was not possible to seat in a cockpit for mountain photography.
Because of flying over the massive summits, touched my heart, It was a once in a lifetime experience. We are very happy that we have done it on our first time Nepal visit.

Thank you so much dear Ade and Minami Sultan for your time to review us.
Flight over the Himalaya Mountains
We found a special deal from Yeti Airlines mountain flight that cost US$ 192 per person. Ammar manages 6:30 am flight ticket and domestic airport transfer. We have the best weather, so we saw the best view of the Everest mountains panorama from the aircraft.
They take you very close to see it up close and they give you a map of the peaks you are seeing. Roughly 20 minutes after flying, one by one will get a chance to go behind the cockpit to make photographs. The views and the experience were overwhelming.
