- veronk20150 contributionsWonderful private day tripThis booked activity exceeded my expectations when first booking it. First of all, the eagerness and effort to accommodate a change in date and times due to a personal matter was amazing. To the trip itself: I met Kunjan, who was driving along the route. He went above and beyond: vehicle was clean, he was very kind, informative and driving safely. We visited first Nagarkot at noon and afterwards Bhaktapur on our way back. Thank you again for a memorable and beautiful experience!Written 9 January 2025
- Wanderer498051976810 contributionsPerfect Travel Agent for a Safe and Memorable Journey🇳🇵💫Being a single woman traveling to Nepal for the first time, everything felt unfamiliar, and I was quite nervous before arriving in this beautiful country. However, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have met Kunjan—not only as a travel agent but also as my very first Nepali friend :) It happened to be my birthday on the second day of my trip, and Kunjan went above and beyond to make it truly special. He surprised me with a birthday cake and organized a day full of unforgettable experiences 🥰🙏 Throughout my journey, no matter where I was, Kunjan was always just a phone call away. He made sure I felt safe and comfortable at all times, which meant so much to me as a solo traveler. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail transformed my trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience ✨ I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone curious about exploring this amazing country!!! 🫶🫶🫶Written 6 January 2025
- bapinag70 contributionsBeautiful Country, Beautiful PeopleFlying in a Bombardier CRJ 200 at a cruising altitude of 27,000 ft, the views of Mt Everest and the other peaks were humbling. During descent the terraced farming and the green countryside got me to lose myself in my thoughts. The landing was so smooth that I barely noticed it. Congratulating the young Captain Shreshtha for the smooth landing, I remarked " Beautiful Country, Beautiful People". Shreshtha and his crew were visibly pleasedWritten 27 November 2024
- Quest084539743920 contributionsAwesome Everest FlightMe and a couple of friends did the Everest Flight with Shree Airlines and it was one of the highlights in Nepal, which is quite a lot to say! We had very clear view of the mountains, Everest being the crown, and we could even imagine us hiking in those valleys. Kunjan picked us and took us back on time, gave us very good conversation with interesting information about Nepal. Definitely worth it!Written 24 November 2024
- 956giselled0 contributionsAmazing experience as always!This is my third time touring with the support of Kunjan and he never ceases to impress every time. He is not only the most well organised travel guide, but ensures you have the best experience for the best price in the most beautiful locations and amazing hotels. From a travel guide to a friend and now to family, I would never travel Nepal without his support. Highly recommend him and can’t wait to visit Nepal again!Written 24 November 2024

We travelled from Kathmandu to Chitwan saw Rhinos! and then we went to Pokhara we saw the Himalayan Range( got emotional because it was breathtaking) !! And then back to Kathmandu to do shopping. Every place we stayed people were so nice and very kind to us. We tried the Nepalee Tea from almost all the places we went which is really nice, jhol spicy chicken dumplings were amazing and the Ata roti and Dhal curry was my favourite (this was from a small shop facing the main road we stopped by on our way to Chitwan and back to Kathmandu) A big thank you to Kunjan for organising such an amazing trip for us! Thank you and hoping to come back very soon.Written 4 November 2024

- martinrD6458GQ0 contributionsTop Everest Experience FlightWe had a fantastic Everest Experience flight arranged at last minute by Kajun. Quick response to all questions, prompt pick up and waiting for us after the flight to take us back to the hotel. The flight with Shree airlines was very smooth and they use small jets not prop planes. We also got an Everest Experience certificate.Written 17 October 2024
- authortimothykeys0 contributionsGreat experience and must do.Great experience from thr moment the driver came to fine me sitting waiting in the lobby of the hotel, meeting point, to the return to my hotel. The tide was great and he even talked a little about things to do in the area and food to try while in Nepal. It is a drop off situation so be be prepared and ready to explore on your own. For me I love that, drop me off and pick me up, that's all I need. Once you take the trip on the Cable Car which is a journey on it's own, you get to experience many different things on top the hill. Let the pics speak more. Overall great experience. Definitely recommended.Written 19 September 2024

I went on this mountain flight as it was the best way for me to experience the Mount Everest as I had limited time. I think it’s a must do to experience Everest in some form while traveling in Nepal. For me this flight was the best option. The view of the mighty Himalayas and the Everest mountain was truly breathtaking in the morning light. Every passenger gets a window seat and the pilot and the crew explain all the ranges of mountains that we pass by and what to look out for. When Everest comes into view, it is such a magical moment. It was an early start, but Kunjan meticulously planned every little detail of my trip and he was punctual in the morning and all I had to do was show up to enjoy this memorable experience. I highly recommend this flight to anyone who wants to experience this flight over the Himalayas.

I was lucky my hotel was able to get me in as flights were sold out. Please book in advance. There are three local airlines that do these mountain flights, Buddha Air is the best. The ticket is about U$s250 to 300 and worth every penny. Flights are daily, but leave at about 6am and you are back in domestic arrivals by 8am. Plan to arrive earlier to choose the seats. I recommend the very last rows to avoid the plane engines. The views are just outstanding. The flight attendants are excellent and they show each passenger each mountain. And help you take the best photos if needed. I highly recommend this experience. If weather is not good, flights might cancel but you get a refund. Just excellent. I wish there were more stars than five. Ground crew, check in, everyone is welcoming, professional and accommodating. Thank you for making this experience a most memorable one.

It's totally worth the $200 for the flight. Everest is only part of the show, as you see a whole bunch of >25,000 foot peaks along the way. We had a stunning day with unlimited visibility and zero turbulence. It was beyond stunning and awe inspiring. Everyone gets a window seat, so it doesn't really matter where you sit. But on the margins, I would say the right side is better. Once you pass Everest, the plane turns North towards the mountains. So the right side gets a closer view. Don't miss out.

Wonderful experience, breathtaking views, forgot to take pictures for some time. The flight attendant very patiently was pointing out the peaks as we passed by. A visit to the cockpit by turns are allowed as the aircraft approached Mt Everest. What a view. It is the closet i have been to the highest peak in the world.

I couldn't fly on time and had to wait about 2 hours to get the weather back.
It was worth it, and I was able to enjoy the "Himalayas" in wonderful weather
I was worried that some seats might block my view.
such seats are vacant, and no passenger may be assigned to
I was impressed by the attention that was given to ensuring that there was enough visibility.
It was a bit of a high-priced Buddha Air mountain flight, but from early morning
The pick-up and drop-off service was good, and I was very happy to take the plunge as it was a lifetime memory.

The early morning 'Mountain View' fight is a must do, if you are keen on a view of the big mountains, especially Everest. You get to see the entire range starting with Langtang Lirung, then going all the way to Makalu, before turning back.
Views are better when returning, so opt for a seat on the right hand side of the plane.
You also have the cabin crew patiently pointing out each mountain to you.
The only downside is that some windows have scratches, so it is difficult to get good pictures at times.

300 euros for a normal flight that runs parallel to the Himalayan mountain range, long distance and without flying over it at any time. On any commercial route you can see in much more detail a mountain from the air and with more spectacular panoramas. It's not worth it at all. It is better to watch for the window when arriving or leaving Kathmandu: surely the views will be better.
