Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the majestic Himalayan range, including views of the highest peaks on Earth as the plane traverses the edge of the Tibetan Plateau.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Glaciated peaks in the Hengduan Mountains of Yunnan province visible shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon
Views near the 'Great Bend' where the river cuts through the Himalayas near the Tibet-India border.
Mount Everest & Kanchenjunga
Distant but breathtaking views of the world's highest peaks looking north from the Nepalese border.
Tibetan Plateau
The vast, high-altitude 'Roof of the World' stretching toward the horizon with snow-capped ridges.
Delhi Approach
Panoramic views of the National Capital Region and the Yamuna River during the final descent.
Aim for a morning departure from Guangzhou to catch the sun illuminating the southern face of the Himalayas. Use a flight tracker to identify Mount Everest roughly 75% through the journey. Note that summer monsoon clouds from June to September often obscure mountain views.
Pearl River Delta
Aerial views of the dense urban sprawl of Guangzhou and Foshan upon departure.
Guangxi Karst Topography
The iconic limestone peaks and winding rivers of the Guilin region.
Brahmaputra River
The massive river system as it flows south into the Indian plains.
North Indian Plains
The patchwork of agricultural fields and dense settlements of Uttar Pradesh.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. Best visibility occurs during the post-monsoon months from October to November when the air is clearest over the Indian plains.
