More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn on Kathmandu's tarmac feels deliberate — fluorescent lights dim, engines hum, and a thin band of alpine light creeps over the horizon. Inside the small aircraft, window seats become front-row stages; glaciers, ridgelines and white crowns slide into view as the city shrinks and the mountains push forward.
