Summiting Mount Everest (Nepal) {Lukla, Everest North & South Routes, 1 Official/Modeled Airport, 12+ BTR POIs}

Hello!

We had a blast in March following the routes of famous female explorers. For April, we’ll pick back up on flights along major trade routes, waterways, pilgrimages, etc.

This week we’ll follow mountaineers as they summit Mount Everest. We’ll depart from Lulka, fly up the valley along the southern route, then depart to the north along the northern route. Hope you’re ready for some high-altitude flying!

Best,
Jules
