To the far left appears Gosainthan (Shisha Pangma) at 8,013 m, followed by Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), which resembles a snow-covered figure eight. Next is Phurbi-Ghyachu overlooking Kathmandu Valley, then Choba-Bhamare (5,933 m), the smallest yet unclimbed peak. Gauri-Shankar (7,134 m), sacred to Lord Shiva and Goddess Gauri, stands sharp and prominent.
As the flight heads east, mountains like Melungtse (7,023 m), Chugimago (6,297 m—unclimbed), and Numbur (6,956 m), considered sacred by the Sherpas, come into view. Karyolung (6,511 m) shines brilliantly with the morning sun. Then appears Cho-Oyu (8,201 m), the world’s sixth-highest mountain.
Approaching Everest, you’ll see Gyanchungkang (7,952 m), Pumori

The driver and licensed city guide accompany you throughout, allowing easy access to major heritage sites like Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square.
