Himalaya Adventure - Flying Nepal Airlines A330 to Kathmandu

I flew on Nepal Airlines A330 from Dubai to Kathmandu as the beginning of my flying adventure in the Himalayas.

I met Captain Vijay Lama onboard, he is a local celebrity and YouTuber in Nepal. The flight time to Kathmandu was 4 hours across the Indian subcontinent. Shortly after takeoff, a beautiful sunrise appeared as we fly to the East. Nepal Airlines crew showed me their uniform and food offering on the flight.

The weather was good enroute. Before landing, many tall mountains appeared on the horizon. 8 of the world’s top 10 highest peaks are in Nepal. We can see Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Fishtail, Manaslu, and many tall mountain peaks. The landing into Kathmandu is very exciting with mountains and high terrain around. Watch the final approach from the cockpit.

Next week, I will share my experience flying to Mount Everest by helicopter. This is a once-a-lifetime experience.

Being in the British armed forces, we of course have the famous Gurkha regiment. Never have I met a more loving and caring race of people. They're amazing! <3

Until now, Kathmandu is still one of the most challenging airport in the world. The Captain is very friendly in this video.

I love Nepal i flown twice to Kathmandu once in day and once at night. In the day flight we saw Everest and the night flight on approach we could just see distant fires in the small villages on the hills outside of Kathmandu...amazing! Lovely people in Nepal!!

I flew to Kathmandu from Delhi 30 years ago and it truly is one of the most spectacular flights I know of!!! We also did a Himalaya flight whilst we were there but I got so motion sick, I missed much of it!

9:43 That approaching view where the plane looked like it was flying left and right thru the maze of the mountains on the sides was surreal. Wow!
And the background music added to the amazing experience.

Wow! Thanks for sharing those adventures. I think I would have felt apprehensive flying over that area even though the pilot was so experienced. Great video!

Seeing himalays in the northern Nepal and big hills in the south before landing in Kathmandu is breath taking. Never forget when airlines decend between hills before landing that is another experience not sure sam chui noticed that
