A great experience of Mountain
flight in Nepal!
One awe-stricken silence can come close to matching the
experience of going on a mountain flight to encounter
the tallest mountains of this earth. For those who are
restricted by time or lack of physical fitness, other
consideration from going trekking, Mountain flight
offers a panoramic view of the Himalaya in a just one
hour. Even those visitors who like the rigors of a trek
still dont miss the opportunity to conquer the
mountains in one fell swoop. This one hour flight takes
you the Eastern Himalayan Ranges of Nepal, some of the
highest peaks in the world including Mt. Everest The
flight is an altogether different feeling as one comes
face to face with the worlds tallest and most enigmatic
of Mountains
Travelers take off from Kathmandu in the early morning
for an hours worth of spectacular mountain scenery.
Mountain flights are offered by different Domestic
Airlines in Kathmandu Valley operating their small but
safest aircrafts. The Everest flight is a sparkling
clear journey across the worlds highest peaks,
First to their far left visitors see Gosaithan, also
called Shisha Pangma, Standing at the majestic height of
8,013 m. Immediately to the right of Gosaithan, there
appears Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), a mountain that looks
like the number 8 lying down and covered with snow. To
the right of Dorje Lakpa is Phurbi-Ghyachu, which looms
over the Kathmandu Valley.
As the plane moves along, the mountains come closer and
closer. Next on the vision is Choba-Bhamare, the
smallest one of the lot at 5,933 m but singularly
stubborn as it has never been climbed. Then appear the
mountain that is not only prominent in sight but also in
spiritually Gauri-Shankar. Lord Shiva and his consort
Gauri are said to protect this mountain, at the proud
height of 7,134 m and the summit had a history of
unsuccessful attempts till 1979.Gauri-Shankar is sharp
and very conspicuous during the mountain flight.
As the plane moves towards the land of the rising sun,
the eastern Himalaya a succession of glorious mountains
follows. Melungtse, a Plateau like mountain stretches
up to 7,023 m, Chugimago at 6,297 m is still a virgin,
waiting to be climbed. At 6,956 m, Numbur Mountain
resembles a breast, maternal source in the sky providing
pure milk to the Sherpas of the Solu Khumbu. Next is
Karyolung, an intensely white mountain that at 6,511 m
gleams with the rising sun. Cho-Oyu is the eighth
highest mountain in the world. Reaching a height of
8,201 m, it appears stunningly beautiful from the
aircraft.
Next on the menu is Gyanchungkang, at a majestic height
of 7,952 m, considered an extremely difficult climb. To
the right of Gyanchungkang is Pumori (7,161m). As
passengers get closer to Everest, there's Nuptse (7,855
m), which means West Peak, signifying its direction from
Everest.
Finally, theres Everest (8,848m) itself, known as
Sagarmatha by the Nepalese and Chomolungma by the
Tibetans. Much has already been written about Everest,
but to actually witness it face to face during a
mountain flight is something else. Even while it looms
therein front of the eyes, it remains and enigma, this
highest spot on earth.
