Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Bay of Bengal coastline and the intricate, sprawling labyrinth of the Sundarbans mangrove forests during the descent into Dhaka.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Bay of Bengal Coastline

Panoramic views of the Odisha and West Bengal coastlines meeting the turquoise sea.

🌲

The Sundarbans

The world's largest mangrove forest, appearing as a massive dark green carpet divided by countless channels.

🚢

Haldia Port

Ships and industrial activity near the mouth of the Hooghly River as you approach the delta.

🌾

Padma River Delta

Dramatic views of the massive Padma River merging into the Meghna before landing.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the delta waters. The Sundarbans are best viewed on clear winter days (Nov-Feb) when atmospheric haze is at its lowest.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Western Ghats

Lush green ridges and sharp escarpments visible shortly after takeoff from Mumbai.

🏜️

Deccan Plateau

The vast, rugged geometric patterns of Central India's agricultural heartland.

💧

Ganges River Basin

The winding, silver threads of the upper Ganges tributaries as you cross into West Bengal.

🏙️

North Dhaka Urban Sprawl

Dense urban clusters and the Turag River visible during the final approach phase.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side provides better views of the inland river systems of Jharkhand and Bihar if the flight path tracks further north.
