CANDEL

Our Recommendation
9.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

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.
