BLR → GAU
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the inland river systems and a spectacular, distant panorama of the Eastern Himalayan peaks during the final approach into Guwahati.
Eastern Ghats
Aerial views of the ancient, weathered ridges of the Eastern Ghats shortly after departing Bangalore.
Krishna & Godavari Basins
Cross over the massive river systems and intricate irrigation networks of Andhra Pradesh.
Himalayan Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, spot the snow-capped peaks of the Bhutanese Himalayas and Kanchenjunga to the north during descent.
Bengal Plains
A stunning mosaic of emerald green paddy fields and rural settlements across the West Bengal region.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights (6 AM - 10 AM) to have the sun behind you. This provides the best contrast for photography and the highest chance of seeing the Himalayan range during the post-monsoon months (October to February) when visibility is at its peak.
Bay of Bengal Coastline
If the flight path hugs the eastern corridor, you will see the hazy blue waters of the Indian coastline.
Sundarbans Edge
Glimpse the northern fringes of the world's largest mangrove forest near the Bangladesh border.
Brahmaputra River
Witness the incredible scale of the braided Brahmaputra river as the aircraft aligns for the final landing sequence.
Mahanadi Delta
Observe the complex web of river branches and fertile plains of the Odisha delta region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the golden hour reflection on the Brahmaputra River. During the monsoon season (June to September), choose this side to see the dramatic, flooded expanse of the Assam valley, though cloud cover may be frequent.
