Godavari River
Cross over one of India's longest rivers, showcasing wide sandy banks and intricate irrigation channels.

Mt. Kanchenjunga
The highlight of the trip; the world's third-highest peak is visible on the horizon during the final 20 minutes of flight.
Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) for the most dramatic mountain views. Choose a morning flight (departing before 9:00 AM) for the best chance of clear, cloud-free skies over the Himalayas. During winter, look for the sharp contrast between the snow-line and the green valleys of West Bengal.

Depending on the air traffic route, you may see the sprawling urban periphery of West Bengal's capital to the east.
Dooars Tea Gardens
During the final approach, the right side provides an excellent bird's-eye view of the lush, carpet-like tea estates of North Bengal.
The right side (Seat F) is better for avoiding direct sunlight during morning flights, preventing glare on your window. It offers superior views of the sprawling tea plantations just before touchdown at Bagdogra. Keep your camera ready for the intricate river patterns of the Bengal delta.
