Review from TripAdvisor on Buddha Air’s Everest Experience



Ffitzkew writes,

“This was a great flight to see the Himalayas and Mt Everest. If you are looking to enhance your experience, this is a remarkable time. The key is to manage your expectations.

The weather is always changing. We had to wait 1.5 hours to board and lift off. That may be somewhat normal.

They book the window seats only on both sides of the plane. Outbound the Mts are on your left. The aircraft will turn left, and the right side will see the mountains on the return trip.

You are given a map marking the mountains. The flight staff will help you identify the peaks.

You get a short visit to the cockpit, time to take a couple of photos only.

Understand you will still be a reasonable distance from Everest. You will need to zoom in, but the views were spectacular.

The plane is very comfortable, and we cruised at 21000 ft.”

“I flew Buddha Air during a scenic flight to view Mt Everest. Everyone in our group was allocated a window seat, and we had the special privilege of being allowed to visit the cockpit; something I haven’t done since I was a kid, many years ago. The flight attendants were very knowledgeable and were able to point out the different mountains in the range. I recommend flying Buddha Air to view the mountain!”

Our Everest Experience mountain flight in Nepal is so popular that we’ve been awarded TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence for 3 consecutive years since 2017. As one of the safest airlines of Nepal, Buddha Air leaves no stone upturned to ensure passenger safety.

It would truly be a missed opportunity if you came to the land of the Himalayas and did not go for a mountain flight.
