Which aircraft to choose for flight?

Taking mountain flight is the world’s most exclusive trip of a life time experience, best option and idea for those who can’t do expensive as well as weeks of physical trekking through the rough and rugged trail. Wise and adventure people do not want to miss this life time experience while they are in Nepal simply because they have limited time in Nepal. Chose the right aircraft that guarantee you window seat and you have enough time watching the peaks. Some flight ends quickly, some don’t have bigger window, some aircrafts very unsteady.

But we must honestly say the truth that some aircrafts fly so quickly that you won’t have much time to take many photos, others have small window seats that your time is gone just fixing your lenses. Some aircrafts small and not smooth.

Nepal is the home to the greatest range of Himalaya mountains in the world and many visitors come to Nepal to see them. However, not everyone is a trekker or a mountaineer or has the time to walk into the mountains, so, taking mountain flight could be the only option. If weather is not clear, you are refunded back or option to fly in next flight.
