Sunderbans Reach
On very clear days, the dark, dense canopy of the world's largest mangrove forest is visible on the southern horizon.
Padma-Meghna Confluence
Observe the massive scale of the Padma river as it merges with the Meghna, creating one of the world's widest river systems.
Comilla & Mainamati
Views of Comilla city in Bangladesh and the historic Lalmai-Mainamati hills just before crossing into Indian airspace.
Agartala Approach
A close-up view of the city's landmarks and the lush surroundings of the MBB Airport during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for river photography, especially during or after the monsoon (June-September) when the water levels are high and the landscape is vibrant. Morning flights offer the best lighting for southward views without looking directly into the sun.

Kolkata Suburbs
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl and planned townships of North Kolkata and Salt Lake shortly after takeoff.
Hooghly River
The winding path of the Ganges distributary as it flows through the heart of the West Bengal region.
Bangladesh Plains
Vast stretches of emerald green paddy fields and rural homesteads characteristic of the Bangladeshi landscape.
Tripura Hills
The undulating greenery of the Baramura and Deotamura ranges appearing during the final descent into Agartala.
Sit on the left for a slim chance to see the distant Himalayan peaks to the far north on exceptionally clear winter mornings. Avoid this side in the late afternoon to prevent sun glare during the eastward flight.
