Regular flights are conducted daily from Kathmandu
towards the Himalayan Range in the North and East of Kathmandu.
The flight generally takes off in the morning and lasts for
one full hour. This is the quickest way to get a close look
at Mt. Everest, the highest mountains in the world (pictured
above). Other mountains that can be viewed at close range
are Nuptse (7879 M), Lhotse (8501 M), Cho Oyu (8000M), Makalu
(8475 M) and Kanchenjunga (8584 M). Buddha Air operates SAAB-340
and Dornier-228 aircraft for Mountain Flights. Both aircraft
have large and clear windows and provide superlative sights
of the Great Himalayan Range.
Buddha Air's mountain flights
are spectacular than any other operation in Nepal because:
Buddha Air's SAAB-340 flies at an optimum altitude of between
20,000 to 25,000 ft. and shows you the Himalayan Range like
never before. The mountains are at eye level for your maximum
viewing pleasure.
The Dornier-228 shows you Mt. Everest by virtually flying
into the lap of Everest (Khumbu Valley). Unless you decide
to take up mountaineering, this is the closest view of Mt.
Everest that you'll ever see.
Unlike in other aircraft, the non-tinted windows of both SAAB
and Dornier provides you with excellent opportunity to photograph
the mountain and keep your memories fresh forever. Sharper
and clearer vision of the Himalayan Range is where your money
is best spent.
The ideal wing position of both aircraft means that you have
an unobstructed view of the mountain ranges.
Buddha Air operates one full hour of mountain flight.
Hand in hand with its technical excellence, Buddha Air's onboard
service is refreshingly different and with that gentle touch
of Nepalese hospitality.

OTHER MOUNTAIN FLIGHTS:
Buddha Air also conducts Annapurna Mountain Flight and the
Jomsom Mountain Flight. Both these are available on a charter
basis only. Your are requested to kindly contact us for more
details on such flights. The regular flight between Pokhara
and Jomsom is like a mountain flight itself. Passing between
the spectacular Fish-tail mountain, Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri
mountains, this flight is an experience in itself.
