“It was a clear day. Therefore the views were awesome!”
Sunrise Everest views from Kathmandu in a small aircraft with hotel pickup, breakfast, and mountain-pointing crew. Flight ~45 minutes.
“Please save yourself the time and money and DO NOT book this experience. I booked it a month out and paid $280. I ended up getting a window seat directly over the wing of the plane. As a result, my view and all of my pictures were obstructed by the wing. Himalayan Social Journey is a greedy company. They don't care about your experience, they just care about money. I'm still trying to get a refund after 2 weeks and nothing. I hope by sharing my experience I can help you to avoid what I experienced. This was marketed as a "scenic flight," but there's nothing scenic about the wing…”
