Hooghly River
Aerial view of the massive Hooghly river during departure from Kolkata.
Padma River Delta
The complex web of waterways and silt islands where the Padma meets other major channels.
Meghalaya Escarpment
The stunning vertical rise of the Shillong plateau bordering the plains.
Cherrapunji Cliffs
Views of the mist-shrouded cliffs known for some of the highest rainfall on Earth.
Opt for an early morning flight to avoid the haze that often builds up over the Bangladesh plains. During the monsoon season, this side offers a spectacular view of seasonal waterfalls cascading off the Meghalaya plateau. If flying in winter, look for the sharp contrast between the dry plains and the evergreen hills.

Kolkata Urban Sprawl
Views of the dense Salt Lake and Rajarhat urban developments upon takeoff.
Tripura Hills
Dense green ridges and valleys characteristic of the Northeastern hill tracts.
Barak River Meanders
The snake-like winding path of the Barak River as it flows through the Silchar basin.
Cachar Tea Gardens
Neat, geometric patterns of tea estates visible during the final descent into Silchar.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the Barak River, making it look like a silver ribbon on the ground. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight to capture the lush tea gardens and the rural landscape of the Cachar district. Check for the Agartala skyline in the distance if the flight path tracks further south.
