   Annapurna region is mostly visited trekking area in Nepal . Annapurna is a Sanskrit name that can be translated as goddess of harvests or more simply the provider of Annapurna 's. The diverse terrain and variety of cultures of the region north of Pokhara make each day's walk a different experience and make the area the most popular destination in the country. The Annapurna trekking region consists of peaks Annapurna 1, Annapurna 2, Annapurna 3, Annapurna 4 and those of Annapurna south peaks. Annapurna trekking region’s major highlights are the ancient mid-western salt-route, settlement of Manang, Thorongla pass between Nepal and Tibet Muktinath temple and the deepest gorge of world Kaligandaki. Upper Mustang of Lomanthang, the desert plateau located in the upper valley of the River Kaligandaki, and to the north of the main Himalayan range also falls in Annapurna region. 


Tourist access to Mustang is controlled to help retain its exclusiveness the highlights of the trek includes the visit to the Mustang palace, the visit to Lomanthang and pony rides to the Nepal-Tibet border. Annapurna region is reached via- Pokhara, which is 200km from Kathmandu , it is 5 to 6 hours by road and 30 minutes by air from Kathmandu.One can ride a bus or hire a cab from Pokhara to reach the trek head. Food and accommodation is easily available for most of part of Annapurna region trek.

Everest View Mountain Flight

The Everest view mountain flight, one of the world’s most exclusive tours, is a lifetime experience. A flight that takes you deep into the Himalayas, flying into valleys close to the rock face, as close as five nautical miles from the Everest itself. Now you can see the stunning beauty of nature; raw, undiluted and truly majestic.

Up view of the Himalaya is very much worth the effort, this we have to confess is not for everyone, due to the physical and time requirements. Everest View flight is meant especially for those who don’t want to leave Nepal without touching the sacred and majestic Himalayas.


Those who trek up to the Everest Base Camp located at height of 5380m may proudly state that they have been there but viewing the Himalaya from onboard a mountain flight is another experience altogether. What would on the ground take days of travel can easily viewed in a matter of minutes and from within the safety and comfort of the Beech craft 1900D. 

           The first ones to come to view are the peaks straight north of
Kathmandu Valley, starting with the 8013m high Shisha Pangma, the 14th highest mountain in the world, which is actually located in Tibet, a few kilometers from the border. Then come a series of several smaller peaks beginning with Dorje Lakpa (6966m) which looks like the figure eight and is located on the eastern edge of Langtang National Park, followed by Phurbi Ghyachu (6637m) on its right, the 5970m Choba Bhamare which remains unconquered, Gauri Shankar (7134m) named after Lord Shiva and his consort, Melungtse (7181m) all part of the Rolwaling range.

Mountain Flight is enjoyed by thousands all the year round, through our experience; we would strongly recommend the time period from February to April and October to December as prime time to enjoy the mountain flights.

 Travelers take off from kathmandu in the early morning for an hour’s worth of spectacular mountain scenery. Mountain flights are offered by different Domestic Airlines in Kathmandu Valley operating their small but safest aircrafts. Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines and Agni Air some of the few airlines that provide this service.
