Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a world-class view of the Great Himalayan Range. Passengers can see snow-capped peaks, including Kanchenjunga on clear days, stretching across the horizon to the north throughout the flight.
Himalayan Snow Peaks
Enjoy a continuous panorama of the world's highest mountain range visible to the north during the cruise phase.
Kanchenjunga
On clear days, the third highest peak in the world is visible shortly after leaving Bangladesh airspace.
Terai Lowlands
Observe the distinct change in landscape from the flat plains to the lush, green forested foothills of Nepal and India.
Nepal Border Region
Track the geography of the border region where the lowlands meet the rising elevation of the mid-hills.
Sivalik Foothills
As the flight nears Delhi, the rugged, lower Himalayan ridges provide a textured contrast to the plains below.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery. Book a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Himalayas. Peak visibility occurs in October and November when the air is clearest after the monsoon. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the snow peaks.
Padma River Delta
Witness the intricate network of the Ganges and Brahmaputra river systems merging in the vast delta shortly after takeoff.
Varanasi Cityscape
View the ancient city of Varanasi and its famous riverbanks along the crescent-shaped curve of the Ganges.
Lucknow & Kanpur
See the massive urban sprawl and industrial centers of Uttar Pradesh as the flight crosses the Gangetic heartland.
Yamuna River Meanders
Watch the dramatic silver loops of the Yamuna River as the flight begins its final descent into the Delhi NCR region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and see river reflections. This side is better for spotting major Indian cities and the heavy agricultural patterns of the plains. For evening flights, the sunset over the Ganges is spectacular.
