Search flights from KTM to TMI
Mount Everest
Clear views of the world's highest peak and its surrounding giants like Lhotse and Nuptse.
Makalu Massif
The world's fifth-highest mountain appears prominently as you approach the eastern sector.
Cho Oyu
A massive snow-capped peak visible early in the flight toward the northeast.
Gauri Sankar
A distinctive double-peaked mountain in the Rolwaling Range visible shortly after takeoff.
Arun Valley
One of the world's deepest valleys, providing a dramatic landscape during the descent into Tumlingtar.
Himalayan Glaciers
Intricate ice flows and glacial lakes tucked between the high-altitude ridges.
Book the earliest possible morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to ensure the clearest views before clouds build up. Ask for a seat in the front or rear of the aircraft to avoid the wing, as these short-haul flights use high-wing or mid-wing turboprops like the ATR or Beechcraft.

Mahabharat Range
Continuous views of the lush, green 'Middle Hills' of Nepal with deep ridges.
Sun Kosi River
The 'River of Gold' can be seen meandering through the deep valleys below the flight path.
Terraced Fields
Incredible patterns of traditional Nepalese hill farming carved into the steep slopes.
Remote Hill Villages
Tiny clusters of houses perched on extreme ridge tops, connected by winding footpaths.
Southern Horizon
On clear days, views extend toward the Terai plains and the southern border.
While less dramatic than the peaks, this side is excellent for photography of Nepal's unique topography and river systems. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the intricate details of the terraced landscapes during the lower altitude portions of the flight.
