Cross an Item off the Bucket List
See the world's tallest summits on an exhilarating scenic flight from Kathmandu taking you to the vicinity of Mount Everest. This is an hour-long flight filled with breathtaking views of the unspeakable beauty of the mighty Himalayas. During the flight you will get an opportunity to admire the globes’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest (8848 meters), Gauri Shankar (7134 meters) Nuptse (7855 meters), Lhotse (8516 meters), Amadablam (6812 meters), Chamlang (7319 meters), Makalu (8463 meters) and Cho Oyu (8201 meters), to name a few. You will also get a glimpse of the Roof of the World - the Tibetan Plateau.
IMPORTANT: For safety, the flight does not fly at a very close distance to Mount Everest. The flight flies away from 5 nautical miles. This is carried out for all operating airlines and helicopters. The clarity of Mount Everest depends on the visibility at the time of flying.

Continue to Pashupatinath, Nepal’s most sacred Hindu pilgrimage site, dedicated to Lord Shiva as the "God of All Animals." Situated along the Bagmati River, this revered temple is known for its striking golden tiered roof and silver doors. A center of spiritual devotion, it remains one of the holiest destinations in the world. Further east, visit Boudhanath Stupa, an iconic Buddhist landmark, its one of the world’s largest and oldest stupas. Adorned with prayer wheels and the all-seeing eyes of Buddha, it stands as a symbol of peace and enlightenment.

Among all the places for mountain viewing in the Kathmandu Valley, Nagarkot is usually considered to be the best. On a clear day one can see Mt. Everest (Sagarmatha) from Nagarkot.The fresh and chilly breeze makes the visitors feel good in the resort town of Nagarkot. Nagarkot, historically, used to serve as the summer retreat for the royal family and many other aristocrats from Kathmandu.
Patan is located about 5 km south of Kathmandu, on the southern side of the Bagmati River and is one of 3 royal cities in the valley.Patan is a center of Buddhist and Hindu culture. The city is full of religious art, temples, and monasteries. It is a city of Buddhist monuments, Hindu temples and fine wood carvings. Lalitpur is the name of this city which 'means the city of beauty'. The city is known as the paradise of fine arts. Patan also boasts a Durbar Square full of temples. One remarkable monument here is a 17th century temple dedicated to the Hindu God Krishna – Krishna Mandir built entirely of stone with rare stone carvings on its walls depicting the epic wars from Ramayana and Mahabharata. The golden spire of the 5th-century Swayambhunath stupa is adorned with a colorful fluttering of prayer flags; it crowns a hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley and offers fantastic views over the city of Kathmandu.

All Aboard!

Phewa Tal is the travelers’ focal point in Pokhara, and is the second largest lake in Nepal.

The lush Rani Ban, or Queen’s Forest, bestows an emerald hue to the lake, and on a clear day, the Annapurna mountains are perfectly reflected on its mirror surface. You can take to the lake in one of the brightly painted doongas (boats) available for rent at Lakeside. Sunrise and sunset offers excellent views of the Fishtail Mountain.
