Essential Information

Unlike the helicopter tour, the morning flight tour will be through an airplane. Due to this reason, the tour will not have any stops except at the Tribhuvan International airport. The tour flight is available only in the morning, so you need to wake up early to board this. 

The tour involves taking off from the Tribhuvan International airport. It will take off towards the Himalayas. The airplane will take an hour's worth of hovering around the mountain range. The flight will allow you to see the marvelous Himalayan range.

You will be able to see settlement areas of Namche through the flight as well. You will get spectacular views of the Everest Range and the Everest base camp region through the sky. You will also see views of  Gourishankar, Cho-Oyu, Lhakpa Dorje, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse, and many more peaks.
