Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior panoramic views of the Ganges River and the potential for a distant Himalayan horizon during winter months.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Kolkata Cityscape

Spectacular views of the Hooghly River and the dense urban sprawl of the 'City of Joy' immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

On very clear winter mornings, the snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Himalayas can be spotted in the far distance to the North.

🌊

The Mighty Ganges

Follow the majestic curve of the Ganga as it flows toward the Bay of Bengal, a constant companion during the flight's midpoint.

🌾

Gangetic Patchwork

The vivid green and yellow geometry of rice and mustard fields creates a stunning natural tapestry across the Bihar plains.

🛫

Patna Urban Approach

A close-up view of Patna's high-density residential areas as the aircraft makes its final descent into the city-center airport.

For the best experience, choose an early morning flight between November and February. The air is clearest during this time, maximizing your chances of seeing the Himalayan range. A window seat ahead of the wing is ideal for photography without engine heat distortion.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏭

Industrial Heartland

Aerial views of the Durgapur and Asansol industrial belts, featuring massive steel plants and power stations.

⛰️

Chota Nagpur Fringe

The terrain shifts into the rugged, forested undulations of the northern Chota Nagpur Plateau along the Jharkhand border.

🏞️

Damodar River Valley

The winding path of the Damodar River, known for its vast sandy banks and seasonal water flow variations.

🏡

Rural Bihar Settlements

Observe traditional cluster-style villages and localized community ponds that define the Bihar countryside.

Sit behind the wing to get an unobstructed view of the transition from the Bengal plains to the rugged Jharkhand terrain. This side is better during afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, reducing glare on the window.
