Ganesh Himal
A prominent sub-range of the Himalayas with several peaks over 7,000 meters visible shortly after takeoff.
Manaslu
The eighth highest mountain in the world, standing majestically at 8,163 meters.
Annapurna Massif
The massive range featuring Annapurna I and several other sister peaks dominating the horizon.
Machhapuchhre
The famous 'Fishtail' peak, revered for its unique double-summit shape and steep profiles.
Lamjung Himal
A rugged, snow-dusted ridge that marks the transition into the Annapurna region.
This is widely considered one of the most scenic flight paths in the world. Always book the earliest morning flight possible (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM) to ensure the mountains are not obscured by midday clouds. Request a seat in the front or rear of the cabin to ensure the wing does not block your view of the 8,000-meter peaks.

Kathmandu Valley
A final look at the sprawling urban density of the capital surrounded by emerald hills.
Trisuli River
The winding turquoise waters of the Trisuli River carving through deep mountain valleys.
Terraced Hillsides
Intricate agricultural terraces that look like giant green steps carved into the landscape.
Phewa Lake
A stunning view of Nepal's second largest lake just before touching down in Pokhara.
While less dramatic than the mountain side, the left side is excellent for seeing the rural lifestyle of the middle hills. It is the better choice for afternoon flights if you want to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun reflecting off the aircraft windows.
