Mount Everest

The last morning in Kathmandu we woke up early to head out to the airport. You can't go to Nepal without seeing Mount Everest. We decided that the best way for us to see Mount Everest was to take an Everest flight. Basically we went up in a little plane, maybe 30 passengers. They only filled the window seats. On the the way up one side of the plane got to enjoy the view of the mountains, on the way back the other side of the plane got to enjoy it. We even got the opportunity during the flight to walk up to the cockpit and see the view of Mount Everest from there. It was kind of cool to see the cockpit of a plane. When we were done with flight we even got a certificate stating that we had taken the Everest flight. It was a cool experience and a great way to see Mount Everest.
It was a good way to end the trip in Nepal. I feel like I'd seen so many different areas of Nepal and experienced so many different things.
