The Sundarbans
The world's largest mangrove forest, visible as a complex network of green islands and tidal rivers.
Kolkata Cityscape
Aerial view of the massive urban sprawl and the winding Hooghly River in West Bengal.
Mumbai Metro Area
The dense skyline of India's financial hub is often visible as the flight path crosses the western coast.
Muscat Shoreline
The striking contrast between the white buildings of Muscat and the deep turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman.
Mina Al Sultan Qaboos
The historic port area of Old Muscat visible during the final approach patterns.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During takeoff from CGP, sit on the right for a final view of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Ensure you choose a seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Sundarbans, which appear approximately 15-20 minutes after departure.

Bay of Bengal
Expansive views of the northern reaches of the bay shortly after departure from Chittagong.
Chilika Lake
Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, visible as a vast blue expanse along the Odisha coastline.
Deccan Plateau
The rugged, ancient volcanic terrain of central India characterized by flat-topped hills.
Al Hajar Mountains
The dramatic southern silhouettes of the Omani mountain range as the aircraft descends into Muscat.
For morning flights, the left side provides better shade and less glare. It is the preferred side for observing the transition from the Indian coastal plains to the arid beauty of the Omani interior. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'hook' shape of the Omani coastline near Sur about 40 minutes before landing.
