Balloon Expedition Over Mount Everest £4,600

Why on earth would anyone go to the effort of climbing the world’s highest mountain when you can just fly over it in a hot air balloon?

And if you have enough cash, you can do exactly that. Veteran hot air balloon pilot Chris Dewhirst will take you soaring to 30,000ft for a spectacular view of Everest and the Himalayas.

Passengers do have to commit to a month of physical and skills training before the flight – and that can’t be out-sourced to your staff.
