Great photo report. My husband also took that flight, so the crash seems very personal.

Yes it was very worth it, I had always wanted to visit Mount Everest ever since I was a kid, I plan on going to Tibet someday when I'm in China and Visit Mount Everest again.

Thanks and you should know Buddha Air happens to be from safer Nepal Airlines, I did my research before doing this flight.
