Mountain Flight

In Nepal, seeing the remote corners of the Himalayas need not be a problem. Mountain flights provide the answer. In just a short time, you will be experiencing the Himalayas at such close range it will seem as though you could reach out and touch them.

The mountain flight gives the best opportunity to get the closest and the best view of Mount Everest (8,850mts) & other mountains such as; Shisa Pangma (8,013m), Gauri Shanker (7,134m), Melungtse (7,023m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), Pumori (8,171m), Nuptse (7,855m), Lhotse (8,516m) & Amadablam (6,856m). The flights are operated every morning from Kathmandu airport which fly at an average altitude of 6,500 - 7,000 meters. Circling Mount Amadabalm to enter the Khumbu valley, we take the passengers almost five nautical miles from the highest peak in the world - Mt. Everest (weather permitting). This flight usually lasts for about an hour. We provide each passenger with individual window seats (guaranteed) during the entire flight. Moreover, all our passengers are invited to the cockpit from where they can take some spectacular pictures of the world’s tallest mountains

Description of few Mountains that can be seen from the Mt. Flight : -

1. Langtang (7234m):
The first mountain, which can be seen, is Langtang. The valley of Langtang, which is not visible from the mountain flight, is considered to be the most beautiful in the whole Himalayan region.

2. Gosainthan (8013m):
The mountain lies on the Nepal – Tibetan border. Tibetan name for this mountain is Shisapangma. She is related with many Hindu Mythologies especially of Shiva.

3. DorjeLakpa (6975m):
This mountain has a Tibetan name, which means “the mountains of many sacred Thunderbolts�?. This mountain is considered to be holy mountain for Buddhists and climbing permission was given only in 1964, and it was not climbed until 1981.

4. Gauri–Sanker (7134m):
This single mountain has two peaks and also has two names together because the Hindus believe that the mountain looks like the pair of Gods Shiva and Gouri. This holy mountain was restricted till 1977 for the climbers. It was only in 1979 that an American – Nepal group reached the summit.

5. Lhotse (8516m):
As this mountain lies to the south of Everest, name given by the Sherpas is Lhotse, which means�? South Peak�?. The first ascent of this mountain took place in 1956 by the Swiss.

6. Mount Everest (8848m):
This Mountain was discovered in 1852 and is the highest mountain of the world, is named after Sir George Everest, and English surveyor. Sagarmatha, top of the universe, is the name giver by Nepal which means, “mother of the world�? and Qomolongma in Tibetan. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey Sherpa were first to climb Everest on May 25, 1953. As a coronation gift to Queen Elizabeth.

We like to thank you profoundly for the magnificent trip we had in the good care of you and your team. We very much enjoyed the impressive landscapes, the rich nature and the plain fact of our trekking and camping in that region. We also got a good impression of the way people live in that part of the world and their culture. We had a great time and it was indeed an unforgettable trip.

We like to congratulate you, and your team, on organizing our three weeks of trekking so well. It went smoothly thanks to your professional attitude, knowledge and experience. We enjoyed the excellent service and the great company your entire team provided. Besides taking good care of us and our personal well-being, you inspire confidence. Special praise deserves Himal’s attention to detail in all practical aspects of the trip.

Another quality is the way you work to inspire all members in the group to become one team, both staff and guests. As a result the whole group gradually developed into a community. A treat of having Himal as our sirdar is his energy, good humour and sense of fun.

In short: we had a great trekking and we cherish fine memories.

Thank you so much and our best wishes,

Kangchenjunga trek 2009 In one word it was fantastic. It was heavy but every step was worth it! Himal and his team are very skilled and can work well together. We had a great time with eachother and the journey was beautifull. I can recommend this to everybody to do this once in their life but ofcourse there is also a warning involved...when i fetched the photo's the other day, i got a feeling of homesickness that i thougt to myself that one time is not enough in such a beautifull place and a fantastic group of people.

During three weeks we enjoyed the professional leadership of Himal and his powerful crew, trekking through the Kanchanjunga mountains.We discovered the rough, sweet, and vulnerable sides of this area of Nepal, its rich and capricious nature and the friendly inhabitants of the mountains, while Himal and his people were taking care for us in a way so trustworthy, pleasant and complete in every way, we endured, enjoyed and meet our horizons more we ever imagined before. This trek is a great adventure.

Dear "thinking about teaming up with Visit Himalaya Treks traveller".Since 1998 I have visited beautiful & exiting Nepal several times,always leaving with a strong desire to return as soon as I find a new chance! Nepal touched my heart completely, nature/climate, people, culture.In 2003 I learnt to know Himal Tamang, the company's MD. Besides cultural visits around Kathmandu, Chitwan Nat. Park in the south, also a wonderful group trekking experience to the area of Helambu, some hours by bus north of Kathmandu. Since then we always kept in contact for my next NEPAL EXPERIENCE! I'll tell you why.

This Helambu trekking was so well organized and pleasant, supporting/guiding us to finally pass 4600m' Laurabina Pass. We could enjoy the trekking, scenery and the social aspects to the most thanks to our Nepali supporting team!

Himal's professional, responsible, relaxed but serious and caring attitude towards all of us + his team of Sherpa's and porters was exactly what is important on a trekking in my view. Responding well to any small or major trouble on the way, being sensitive towards the group's interest and individual wishes. Not to mention his patience for the passionate birds & flower, photography lovers amongst us, which slowed the team down a bit...haha.

In 2005 I returned on my own and was so excited to visit Khumbu Valley, but weather conditions forced a change of plan. Pure flexibility on both sides brought us the next day to Annapurna Base Camp area for a 10 days trekking. With our mini-expedition of 3p I enjoyed a fantastic experience again.

A big plus is also his (local) knowledge after so many years of working in and outside Nepal. Plus the bridge that can be built by your leader, guides, porters with the locals you meet on the way.

So, my opinion: BOTH THUMBS UP FOR HIMAL AND HIS TEAM ! 100% trustworthy for everyone!

I have been trekking with Himal on November 2008, to the base camp (Everest). I had a wonderful time, first of all because the trek and the views are totally amazing but also because Himal have done a wonderful job.

He is a very professional guide, dynamic, always smiling and trying to make the best for you.

Himal knows very well what he is doing and what he is talking about. You can trust him without any Hesitation.

Last February we went on a 12 day long trekking with Himal to the Annapurna Base Camp. It was very nice! Every morning we felt like home because the took good care of us. Let us explain one thing: we are from the Netherlands and this country is below sealevel! Trekking therefore is sometimes quite a challenge! Luckely Himal and his crew were always possitive about our results of the day and they always helped us through the tough parts.

We would like to recommend Himal to all of you for all your trekkings and other expeditions in Nepal. Himal is a very kind and truthworthy man that will never abondon you in the wilderness.

Greetings from Femke, Jolien and Marije from the Netherlands.

I’ve done two trips with Himal. The first trip was the Everest Base Camp trek during March, 2004. The second trip was in March, 2009 when we attempted the Annapurna circuit. Both were excellent trips. There’s no better way to travel than with Himal. His organization skills and attention to detail, not to mention the first class service is second to none. In Nepal, this is critical, since you don’t want to waste precious vacation time. Himal is always in complete control. You don’t have to even think about logistics. After Himal meets you at the airport, the hard part is done. You can relax; you’re in good hands with Himal. I’m already thinking about my next trip with Himal.

I have been visiting Nepal in the past 25 years and since 1999 Himal has been my guide and tutor for the Himalayas. We have made over 15 treks and travels together. Wether on my own or with a group of hikers: these treks and travels were in the hands of the excellent, caring and responsible organisation of Himal. His professional and organizational skills make a trek in Nepal a real experience of the Himalaya: Himal has taught me to understand more of the people and culture in Nepal, he is also an excellent intermediary who surprises time and again in his ability to connect with his clients and local communities.
