Departing Bhutan International Airport for New Delhi, India. Flew around a couple of mountains and eventually got a great view of Mt. Everest and the Himalayas while flying of Nepal.
USEFUL SUGGESTION FOR EVEREST LOVERS If you want to see Mt Everest from air, you do NOT see much if you fly within Nepal. For clear view of Mt Everest and other peaks, you will have to fly the Delhi (or Kathmandu) Paro sector (Pl remember: NOT the Bangkok/Dhaka/Singapore Paro sector). While flying INTO Bhutan from Delhi or Kathmandu, sit on left side window seats AND while flying TO Kathmandu or Delhi - sit on the right. And also try to get back seats after Row 16 (towards the washroom at the back) because these seats have no obstructions from the wings for better views. I hope this helps everyone planning their travel.
Or fly to Kathmandu Nepal, and take a mountain flight, specifically for flying over the Everest region. Its a 1.5 hrs round trip from Kathmandu and back. Thank you
It's crazy that they were basically at cruising altitude but barely above the peaks... just gives you perspective of how massive these mountains are...
If i'm literal arriving in bhutan or india, or, wherever, in this world you justin bieber wannabe, i'd be arriving normal, the service and check in, why, provide anything, the grandmother is not literal present on earth anymore and died a year ago, why not go honest tell, you defrauder, people that? I literal don't know you, at all, in the slightest, so, why, lie? #ForLiteralRecordYouHaveNoOptionsFromMeAndMyMaidenNameAndCurrentSurnameIsBeingPermanentErased #YouTakingAdvantageIsNowAtLiteralAPermanentEndGoingInto2024AndMySisterOwesYouNothing
5:47 to the right the makalu(8.463 m). To the left the everest(8.849 m). The peak that is close to the everest, that in fact looks like a continuation of it which extends to the right(in reality it goes southbound) in the video is the Lhotse(8.516 m). At 6:01 you can see(briefly) the Cho Oyu(8.188 m), the last peak to the left, the highest one on the left which is shown for 1/2 second.
This if the best ever view I have ever saw. I was just shocked that Mt. Kanchenjunga is closer than I thought it would be close. Hatts Off to the guys who went almost the same altitude of the world highest peak(Mt. Everest) without any oxygen supply.
@@dohongdo8940 .. if u trip from new delhi to paro, bhutan, the mountain view will be on your left side.. on your return trip, it will be the opposite (right)
I live in India and have seen Everest and Kanchenjunga more than 10 times and can agree it's a mesmerizing sight to see. But you have to be seriously lucky like me to see the mountains without any obstruction from clouds and fogs.
When the pilot pointed out how snow was blowing off of Everest, that's extremely high winds or a storm taking place at that moment. For climbers approaching the summit, not where you want to be at that moment.
On most normal days, that’s what we can see from Syangboche, even before approaching Base Camp from the Nepal side. It’s high winds more often than not, and that plume of snow is almost like a flag.
Thank you. My dad saw Everest, a tiny point on a far horizon as he was assistant navigator on a flight from Delhi to Calcutta, preparatory to being shot at by the Nipponese. Feels strange that I will now never manage to be able to say the same.
Amazing thing is that himalayas are so high they are visible in airspace over patna, lucknow and delhi almost 400KMs away , infact delhi guwahati flight is even better
It doesn't look that high at all actually here in this footage, it's strange. The mountains nearby Everest do look low-seated, suggesting an altitude much lower than stated, and especially with the view in background for further reference. It makes me think something might not be right here, and the actual mountain height might be well exaggerated just because the overall number is based on sea level, not the base ground where the mountains start.
Very beautiful - and thanks to Don for putting this on youtube for the rest of us to enjoy. Here's an interesting thought... If we could reduce the Earth to the size of a billiard ball, it would be ten times SMOOTHER than a billiard ball! These jagged peaks would not be noticeable!
I was lucky enough t be on this flight a little under a week ago. the weather was crystal clear and we got some amazing shots of Everest and the Himalayas

@@middleagedwomanwithahandba2795 you will note that my two comments are independent. If it pleases you, you might link the sentences with the connecting phrase "despite the fact that".
You can also see the Everest along with the KanchenDzonga but quite far away while flying towards Bagdogra airport... But it depends on having a clear blue sky and the flight window glass being clean enough to give a clearer view. Take a seat on the Windows end on the left-hand side..much behind the wings section. Right before 20 minutes to land at airport, keep an eye on the left most horizon...you could see them and even if it is quite far away the scene will be breath taking...!
Nice video. I really like the landscape visible around the airport - it seems pleasant and tranquil. I would love to see Everest in real life - even from a far-away village.
When booking my flight seats I'm always aware which side will have the more scenic views so I don't make the mistake of sitting on the wrong side of the plane!
I want to thank you and also apologize at the same time. I want to thank you for this video for sharing Mount Everest which to me is the home of my Lord Shiva and secondly I want to apologize for all those people that dislike this video. There was absolutely no reason for that I feel bad for them and I'm truly sorry but I thank you so much for this video. Truly it made my day.
Holy shit I just realised that I had the same view when I flew out of Paro ! They didn't tell us anything in the flight so I remained unaware. I'm going to get back to my pictures and find Everest. Am pretty sure I saw it..
Dear mountain lovers, if you want to enjoy the view of Mount Everest from the aircraft come to Nepal, book a mountain flight from Kathmandu. For one hour you will get see all the Himalayan range very close enough to feel like stretch your hands to touch it. The flight is a guided tour and every body gets to see left or right side.

Yes I don't think there's a difference of more than 5000 - 6000 feet difference between the airplane and the mount everest

Yup. Everest is little over 29,000 feet and commercia planes normaly fly at the altitude of 30,000 feet.
As the plane flies by there's someone on the mountain going "Why did I EVER choose to do this?!?!"
No one who chooses to climb the mountain ever thinks that.
