As the aircraft lifts up and heads towards the east,
passengers don't have to wait too long to find out what's in store

MOUNTAIN FLIGHT
.....................................................................................................................................
Regular flights are conducted daily from Kathmandu
towards the Himalayan Range in the North and East of Kathmandu. The flight
generally takes off in the morning and lasts for one full hour. This is
the quickest way to get a close look at Mt. Everest, the highest mountains
in the world (pictured above). Other mountains that can be viewed at close
range are Nuptse (7879 M), Lhotse (8,501 M), Cho Oyu (8,000M), Makalu (8,475 M) and Kanchenjunga (8584 M). Cosmic Air operates SAAB-340 and Dornier-228
aircraft for Mountain Flights. Both aircraft have large and clear
windows and provide superlative sights of the Great Himalayan Range.
