Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Imphal Airport (Imphal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the stunning Loktak Lake and its unique circular floating islands shortly before landing.
Search flights from CCU to IMF
Loktak Lake
The most iconic sight of the trip, featuring the world's only floating national park and circular phumdis.
Meghna River System
Vast, braided river channels and massive floodplains visible as the flight traverses Bangladesh.
Tripura Ridges
Dense tropical forest-covered hills that form beautiful parallel green waves across the landscape.
Imphal Valley Basin
The dramatic transition from high mountain ridges to the flat, scenic basin where the city of Imphal is nestled.
The approach into Imphal is spectacular on the right. Sit behind the wing to get the best view of Loktak Lake, which is most prominent about 10 minutes before touchdown. In the monsoon, the lake looks particularly lush and full.

Kolkata Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the Hooghly River and the dense urban grid of West Bengal's capital immediately after takeoff.
Bangladesh Waterways
A sprawling network of emerald-green paddy fields and meandering river channels across the Bengal Delta.
Barail Range
The rugged northern mountain ridges that mark the entrance into the hilly terrain of Manipur.
Morning flights are ideal for the best visibility over the delta. During the winter months, keep an eye on the far northern horizon for a slim chance of seeing the distant Eastern Himalayan peaks.
