The Sundarbans
The world's largest mangrove forest, appearing as a dark green expanse intersected by silver tidal veins.
Meghna Estuary
The massive confluence where the Ganges and Brahmaputra waters meet the salt water of the Bay of Bengal.
Estuarine Islands
Views of Sandwip and other silt-formed islands that are constantly reshaped by the powerful Bay of Bengal tides.
Chittagong Port
The bustling maritime gateway of Bangladesh, filled with cargo ships, tankers, and the winding Karnaphuli River.
Patenga Beach

The right side is unbeatable for nature lovers. Choose an afternoon flight for the best light over the Sundarbans. Be sure to look for the 'ship-breaking' yards near the coast, which are world-famous and easily visible during the final descent into Chittagong.

Kolkata Urban Sprawl
A dense aerial view of the historic city of Kolkata and the Hooghly river banks immediately after takeoff.
Padma River System
Witness the intricate network of the Padma river and its countless distributaries carving through the green plains.
Bengal Delta Plains
Vibrant green agricultural patchwork and traditional rural settlements that define the landscape of Bangladesh.
Tripura Foothills
On clear days, the distant blue outlines of the Tripura hills are visible along the northern horizon near the border.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for photography of the delta's river systems. This side is also excellent for seeing the sheer density of population in the Bengal basin.
