On top of the World! - Fantastic experience. The driver, the airline, the flight attendants all did an amazing job. Truly an epic and once in a lifetime experience. They kept us posted every step of the way what we were looking at. I had so much fun! The fascinating part was how far down the clouds were. Highly recommended this tour.

The highest mountains in the world up close - Very well organized. The driver was more than punctual, the flight was great with a fantastic view of the highest mountains in the world... it was explained in detail which mountains you could see. And the return transport to the hotel was also perfect.

Superb - Stunning and breathtaking , awesome view of the Himalayas, This had been my dream to see Mt. Everest from close quarters. I believe Moutain has always inspired me to be strong , bold , and stand tall amidst crisis. The snow clad mountain ranges was looking as though someone had painted in a canvas . I wish I could actually set my foot on them , walk up to the top and say Ahoy I have arrived .

Mountain Flight - We were picked up at the promised time from our hotel by a comfortable car and taken to the terminal - a short ride in the early morning. The plane was an Embraer jet (some airlines use propeller aircraft) but they don't fill it to capacity. Everyone has a window seat. The flight skims the southern fringe of the mountains and then turns around, meaning that those on the left side get the views on the way out and those on the right on the way back. The views were awesome, and the experience is highly recommended. The driver was waiting for us on return and we were back at the hotel in time for breakfast. Thanks Nabaraj!

Our flight to see Mount Everest. - We were very excited about our Mount Everest flight. They were watching and monitoring the weather before the plane took off from Kathmandu.
Everyone gets a window seat in the plane. Wonderful opportunity for pictures of the highest mountains of the world! We all got small explanatory maps with panoramic view of the highest Himalayan peaks. Unfortunately, our flight had to turn back due to decreased visibility. We heard we would be eligible for a refund.
We were satisfied with the services of Buddha Air, just a shame that weather did not cooperate.

A great experience - This is a fantastic experience and the easiest way to get a good view of Everest without too much effort. The early start is definitely worth it. THe stewardess did a great job telling passengers what to look out for. Previous reviewers have said there is a chance to visit the cockpit for photos - that was not the case this morning. Also the window I had was dirty which meant the focussing of my iPhone became difficult - especially when trying to zoom. I appreciate that keeping external windows clean is difficult but the lady opposite me who bought wipes for window probably got better photos than me! I don’t know why they don’t supply them as it would not be expensive and make for a more enjoyable experience.
However, I did get some okay photos and this is more about the experience and is definitely to be recommended

Beautiful landscape - Awesome view. Expect to see the mountain landscape during the flight, and the mt everest from a bit further away for a while. As long as that are your expectations you will have a great time!

Mountain Flight to Everest - The aircraft used for the flight is a 60 (?) seater ... The windows are not clean
The distance from which one sees the range is not very satisfactory. A helicopter or a smaller plane would probably have gone closer ?
Can look at Everest from far if the weather is clear. The only good thing is you see Everest...even if from far...
