Great morning flight - Views were AMAZING! We were worried, because it was very hazy in Kathmandu, due to forest fires. When we took off, visibility was nil. However, 15 minutes into the flight, the Himalaya appeared, and the rest of the flight was spectacular. We were picked up at our hotel by a driver and a guide, who got us through the airport with ease, and who were waiting for us when we returned. We were back to the hotel in time for breakfast! Highly recommended.

Would give 6 stars if possible - This trip was very well organized by Welcome Nepal Treks. They picked me up at my hotel and brought me back afterwards. About the flight itself: it's amazing, I would highly recommend it to everyone. I have seen the highest place on this planet.

Well worth doing - Probably the next best thing if you do not plan to trek to base camp. An early morning start, picked up at 5.15am from our hotel. The driver was waiting for us in reception. The early start also means avoiding the worst of Kathmandu’s traffic getting to the airport. Boarding the Shree airlines flight was straightforward. We were in the air for approx 50 minutes. Everyone has a window seat allocated. The mountains are visible on the left hand side going out and the right hand side returning. Your ticket has the individual mountains marked on it and the crew will point out key features including Everest.

The best way to see the Himalayas and Mt. Everest - You don't want to skip this experience while in Kathmandu! The views from the plane were unforgettable and everything went smoothly from hotel pick up before the sunrise to drop back to the hotel. The staff on the plane made sure everybody spotted all the major peaks. I have booked several trips through this Welcome Nepal Treks agency and also this experience was very well organized. They have made things happen even though I have decided to make a trip in a last minute.

Everest is right there!! - When we arrived at the airport, it was cloudy with a light rain. However, once we were in the sky, the sky cleared up and we could see the beautiful mountains up close. The hour-long flight was a spectacular time where we could gaze at the divine mountains and be taken aback by the beauty of nature. This is an activity I would definitely recommend if you come to Kathmandu.

Is the Everest Sightseeing Flight Worth It? - Amazing Service, Great Company to Work With! Welcome Nepal Treks - Handled everything from booking the flight, free pick- up from our place of accomodation to airport & back after the flight. The flight - Everyone was guaranteed a window seat. Airline crew was very accomodating & helpful, explaining the different mountain ranges that we were seeing. They graciously took some of our pictures, too! Everest Sightseeing - It was a stunning sight to behold! I feel elated to fly towards Mt. Everest & appreciate it from above. She's a beauty! The landscape was an out of this world & once- in- a lifetime experienced. Yes, Its all worth it and a big thank you to Welcome Nepal Treks for providing an EXCELLENT SERVICE!
