Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Dibrugarh Airport (Mohanbari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is vastly superior on this route as it provides a spectacular panorama of the Eastern Himalayan range, including Mount Kanchenjunga and the snow-capped peaks of Bhutan.
Mount Kanchenjunga
The world's third-highest peak is visible as a massive white massif to the north during the mid-flight cruise segment.
High Bhutan Himalayas
A continuous chain of snow-covered peaks belonging to the Bhutanese mountain range dominates the northern horizon.
Arunachal Foothills
As the plane approaches Upper Assam, the rugged, forest-clad hills of the Eastern Himalayas appear closer to the aircraft.
Teesta River Meanders
The wide, braided channels of the Teesta River are visible as they transition from the mountains into the Bengal plains.
For the best experience, book an 'A' window seat on a morning flight (before 09:00 AM) to ensure the sun is behind you, illuminating the Himalayas. Winter months (November to February) offer the highest probability of cloud-free skies. Keep your camera ready about 25-35 minutes after departure from Kolkata.
Bangladesh Delta
A sprawling network of emerald-green fields and intricate river distributaries across the border.
Meghalaya Plateau
The rising elevations of the Khasi and Jaintia Hills, often shrouded in dramatic cloud formations.
Kaziranga Reach
The flight path often mirrors the southern bank of the Brahmaputra, providing views of the wetlands near the famous national park.
Majuli Island
The world's largest river island is frequently visible on the right side during the final descent into Dibrugarh.
Select an 'F' window seat if flying in the late afternoon to enjoy a sunset over the Brahmaputra River. This side provides a better view of the river's massive, multi-channel bed and the southern hill ranges of Northeast India. During monsoon, this side offers the best views of the dramatic lightning and storm clouds over the Meghalaya plateau.
