Dhaka Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the dense Uttara and Tongi neighborhoods shortly after takeoff from DAC.
Brahmaputra Basin
Intricate network of river channels and fertile floodplains stretching towards the Mymensingh region.
Meghalaya Plateau
The dramatic visual of the Indian mountain range bordering Bangladesh, often featuring cascading waterfalls during the monsoon.
Sit on the left for the best views of the northern horizon. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Meghalaya hills perfectly. During the monsoon season (June–September), you can often spot large waterfalls along the distant mountain face.

Meghna River Crossing
A clear view of the massive Meghna Bridge and the industrial clusters of Ashuganj and Bhairab.
Sylhet Haors
Expansive seasonal wetlands that look like inland seas during the rainy season, dotted with 'floating' villages.
Tea Plantations
Lush emerald green tea gardens of the Surma Valley appearing as the flight descends into Sylhet.
The right side is excellent for viewing the unique 'Haor' ecosystem of Bangladesh. To see the tea gardens in their most vibrant green, travel between July and October. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some glare from the sun, so window shades or polarized sunglasses are recommended.
