Yes the rumors you have heard about these birds are true, but as rumors go they are a bit exaggerated. No they do not fly over Everest, but they do fly as high as 6,500m. The flying above Everest tale could be an exception or just apocryphal. But again 6,500m is no small feat and they do cross the Himalaya during their annual migration from Tibet to India in one long day, sometimes flying at such altitudes for up to 10 hours non-stop.
