The view of Himalayas from your flight to Bhutan.

Your flight to Bhutan from Bangkok is the best mountain flight in the world. You can see the up-close view of the Himalayan ranges.

When you fly from Bangkok to Paro Bhutan, you will see the panoramic Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586 m) and Mt. Jomolhari (7326 m).

If you travel to Bhutan in early spring or winter or even in late autumn, then you have the better chances of seeing these beautiful high points on the surface of the earth. The morning flights are even better as there will be less or no clouds to obstruct the mountain ranges.
