This is a fly-by flight to Mount Everest, meaning the aircraft flies as close as possible to the southern face of Everest, offering spectacular views. Since Everest lies along the Nepal–China border, the flight doesn’t loop over the summit but turns eastward after reaching its closest point near the mountain, ensuring your safety while maximizing the view.
If you are an Indian national, the cost for the scenic Everest mountain flight is approximately INR 10,000 per person, including a guaranteed window seat for panoramic Himalayan views.
