Mountain flights are a very convenient way of exploring the Nepalese Himalayan peaks without the hardship associated with treks and mountain climbs. All the domestic airlines offer various forms of mountain flights. Most mountain flights are done in the mornings and during all seasons except in the rainy season of June and July. Now mountain flights also take off for all the Himalayan ranges and also beyond to Mt. Kailash and the Mansarover Lake in western Tibet. Other forms of mountain flights are also catching up. Ballooning and ultra- and micro-lites provide such soaring flights. They offer spectacular views of the Himalayan panorama around Katmandu Valley and Pokhara.
