Mountain flight
For the
traveller who is unable to make a trekking trip to the mountains either because
of lack of time or physical fitness, or due to sheer want of the adventure
streak, there are mountain flights to simulate the experience. The one hour
flight takes you within camera range of some of the highest peaks in the world,
and cruising this close to the awe-inspiring massifs of rock and ice, is an
out-of-this earth experience. The aircraft takes off and heads eastward and
almost immediately, the peaks of the Himalaya come into view.
The
first Himalaya peak that appears on your horizon is the majestic Gosaithan, standing
8,013m tall. To its right, appears Dorje Lhakpa (6,966m), looking like a
massive figure of 8, lying prone and covered in snow. To its right is
Phurbi Chyachu, which looms over the Kathmandu Valley. Next on your vision
is Choba Bhamare, rather small in this company at 5,933m, but singularly
stubborn as it remains unconquered to this small in this day. Then comes
Mt. Gaurishanker (7,134m), standing out sharp and conspicuous- Hindus
believe that mountain.
