Yeti
flies in intl sky
Jan 23 - Yeti Airlines International, a joint venture between Yeti Airlines and
Air Arabia, began international flights from Wednesday, with its inaugural flight
taking off to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this morning.
The airline, which is also
known as FlyYeti.com, is scheduled to operate three flights a week to Kuala Lumpur
and thrice-weekly flights to Sharjah, using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. It is the
first Nepali low-cost carrier and the first to have foreign investment scheduled
"Many
airlines which say they provide professional and world class services are treating
workers as lowest-grade of people," he said. "If this airline gives
good services and does not behave deferentially, it would create pressure on others
to upgrade their services," he said.
He
also asked the airline to work with Nepal Tourism Board to promote Nepal's image
in the international market.
Ang
Tshering Sherpa, chairman of the airline, said that the airline was planning to
bring in another aircraft, an Airbus-320, in mid-February and another Boeing 737-800
aircraft in mid-March. "We will expand our services to Bangkok, Hong Kong,
Doha, Abhu Dhabi, Riyadh and Lhasa," he said.
He
said Yeti would focus on giving Nepali flavor for Nepalis going abroad. "To
help them, we will guide them until the gate of immigration offices," he
said.
Yeti has
received permission from the government to fly to 14 destinations in various Asian
countries including India, Malaysia, the UAE, Qatar, Hong Kong, Singapore and
South Korea.

The "must-see" landmark of Nepal is Mt. Everest-the

high altitude trek, then think again! with Buddha Air's spectacular "Everest

as taking just another flight-at the same fare as any other domestic airlines,
with a guaranteed window seat.

MOUNTAIN
FLIGHT IN NEPAL - Mount Everest Flight, Everest Flight, Flight Everst
What
is Mountain Flight?? Fare US $ 156.00
Only
awe-stricken silence can come close to matching the experience of going
on a mountain flight to encounter the tallest mountains of this earth. No wonder
mountain fly-bys have become a popular tourist attraction in Nepal. Four airlines
offer regular forages into the snow-capped peaks of the Himalaya.
Mountain
flight appeals to all categories of travelers. For those who are restricted by
time or other considerations from going trekking, these flights offer a panoramic
view of the Himalaya in just one hour. Even those visitors who like the rigors
of a trek still don't miss the opportunity to "conquer" the mountains
in one fell swoop.
Travelers
take off from Kathmandu in the early morning for an hour's worth of spectacular
mountain scenery. As the aircraft lifts up and heads towards the east, passengers
don't have to wait too long to find out what's in store for them. There they are
- the mountains, as they always have been.
First
to their far left visitors see Gosaithan, also called Shisha Pangma, standing
at the majestic height of 8,013 m. Immediately to the right of Gosaithan, there
appears Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), a mountain that looks like the number 8 lying down
and covered with snow. To the right of Dorje Lakpa is Phurbi-Ghyachu, which looms
over the Kathmandu Valley.
As
the plane moves along, the mountains come closer and closer. Next on the vision
is Choba-Bhamare, the smallest one of the lot at 5,933 m but singularly stubborn
as it has never been climbed. Then appears the mountain that is not only prominent
in sight but also spirituality - Gauri-Shanker. Lord Shiva (Shanker) and his consort
Gauri are said to protect this mountain, at the proud height of 7,134 m, and the
summit had a history of unsuccessful attempts till 1979. Gauri-Shanker is sharp
and very conspicuous during the mountain flight. As the plane moves towards the
land of rising sun, the eastern Himalaya, a succession of glorious mountains follow.
Melungtse, a plateau like mountain, stretches up to 7,023 m. Chugimago at 6,297
m is still a virgin, waiting to be climbed. At 6,956 m, Numbur mountain resembles
a breast, the maternal source in the sky providing pure milk to the Sherpas of
the Solukhumbu.. Next is Karyolung, an intensely white mountain that at 6,511
m gleams with the rising sun. Cho-Oyu is the eighth highest mountain in the world.
reaching a height of 8,201 m, it appears stunningly beautiful from the aircraft.
Next
on the menu is Gyachungkhang, at a majestic height of 7,952 m, considered an extremely
difficult climb. To the right of Gyachungkhang is Pumori (7,161 m). as passengers
get closer to Everest, there's Nuptse (7,855 m), which means West Peak, signifying
its direction from Everest. Finally there's Everest (8,848 m) itself, known as
Sagarmatha by the Nepalese and Chomolungma by the Tibetans. Much has already been
written about Everest, but to actually witness it face to face during a mountain
flight is something else. Even while it looms there in front of the eyes, it remains
an enigma, this highest spot on earth.
Fly
above the kings of the world - the mighty Himalaya! You will be awe inspired by
the majestic 8000 meter snow capped peaks flying over the top of the world. A
once in a lifetime opportunity to witness a panoramic view of these natural wonders.
A trip to Nepal must include this wonderful experience
The
one-hour mountain flight is one of the most spectacular journeys that you will
ever take.
You
will see the whole stretch of the Himalayas that extend across Nepal. It is a
view that you would not see normally in the regular mountain flights operated
in Nepal. You will be awarded by close up views of all the eight majestic 8000
meter (26000 foot) peaks that tower over other lesser known mountains which nevertheless
still stand tall in all their grandeur.
Mountain
flight has created a niche for itself. We provide each passenger with an individual
window seat during the entire flight. During the flight, passengers can also go
to the cockpit from where they can take some spectacular pictures.
