At dawn this morning several us elected to take the Mount Everests flight on Yeti Airlines. It is an hour flight along the Himalayan Mountain Range. We had to wait 3 hours for the air to clear to just take off fom Kathmandu International Airport.

It was worth the $215 to see Mt Everest from several positions along the Himilayan Mountains. Even if it was a little overcast it was worth it for sure. The peak is behind the front range in this photo..

Inside the cabin with the crew everyone had a window seat to see Mt Everest and the rest of the Himilayan Mountains as we flew up and down the range followed by a glass of champagne prior to landing to celebrate this day.

Known in Tibet as Sagarmatha or "Goddess of the Sky" avid climbers around the world call this mountain "the ultimate climb" or K2 with its astounding summit height of 29,029 feet above sea level. Mount Everest earns the tital of the tallest peak on Earth.

Rising majestically out of the Himalayan Range, its snowy peak and intricate geoegraphy offered us breaktaking views from the air. Checked another one off the Bucket List.

The Himalayan Range is majestic to vew from any angle

Mt Makalu looks like someone just scooped off the top at the heavens edge

Looking from the wing you can see Mt Everest our last look for the morning behind the front range. What an adventure this has been.
