Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a breathtaking view of the unique ridge-and-valley topography of Mizoram and the dramatic descent into the Tlawng River valley before landing on the table-top runway.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛶

Sundarbans Fringe

Distant views of the vast mangrove forests and the Bay of Bengal coastline far to the south.

🌾

Tripura Plains

The sudden transition from the flat agricultural lands of Tripura into the sharp, vertical Mizoram ridges.

🏞️

Tlawng River Gorge

A stunning view of the river winding through a deep valley immediately adjacent to the Lengpui airport ridge.

🏁

Table-top Landing

The unique experience of landing on the Lengpui runway, which is carved out of a hill ridge with steep drops on both sides.

The right side is critical for the final approach. Watch for the sharp contrast between the flat plains and the North-South ridges of Mizoram. Best viewed during the winter months (November to February) when the air is crisp and valleys are not obscured by monsoon clouds or summer haze.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Kolkata Cityscape

Aerial view of the Hooghly River and the dense urban fabric of West Bengal's capital shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Bengal Delta

Intricate networks of rivers and canals forming the world's largest delta system across the international border.

🌳

Mizo Hills

The northern stretch of the lush, green ridges that define the landscape of Northeast India.

⛰️

Lush Ridges

Parallel mountain folds that create a repetitive, wave-like appearance from the air.

Choose a seat in front of the wing to clearly see the river patterns of the delta. Early morning flights offer the clearest visibility before the humidity creates a haze over the plains of Bengal.
