The peak of Everest is the world's highest point i.e there's nothing above the Everest peak. Obviously, it's one of the most important landmarks in the world that every man should visit at least once. However, getting to Everest isn't easy.

The bird's eye view of Everest from an altitude that is higher than the camp I is also a big plus. With three landings of almost 2 hours, the views you can see are as good as that of trekking. And unlike a mountain flight to Everest, you can actually capture all the beautiful photos and videos of yourself before the mountain.
