Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the snow-capped Himalayan range, including some of the highest peaks on Earth, for a significant portion of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Himalayan Range

Uninterrupted views of the world's tallest peaks, often including the silhouette of Mt. Everest and Kanchenjunga in the distance.

❄️

Tibetan Plateau

The stark, high-altitude landscape of the 'Roof of the World' visible along the northern horizon.

🌊

Yarlung Tsangpo Gorges

The dramatic turns of the upper Brahmaputra river as it winds through deep mountain valleys.

🏞️

Hengduan Mountains

The rugged, parallel mountain ranges and deep river valleys of western Yunnan province.

🏙️

Kunming Basin

A clear view of the sprawling capital of Yunnan province surrounded by lakes and mountains.

For the most dramatic Himalayan views, book a window seat away from the wing on the left side. Morning flights are ideal as the northern sun illuminates the mountain peaks perfectly for photography. Ensure you are looking out within the first 60-90 minutes after takeoff from Delhi.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
🛶

Brahmaputra River Delta

The vast, braided river systems of the Assam valley and the lush plains of Bangladesh.

🌿

Naga Hills

Dense, tropical forest-covered ridges along the border of India and Myanmar.

🌊

Irrawaddy River

The major waterway of Myanmar visible as it flows south toward the Andaman Sea.

🌃

Pearl River Delta

The massive urban sprawl and industrial heartland of Southern China during the final descent.

🗼

Guangzhou Skyline

On clear nights, the colorful lights of the Canton Tower and Zhujiang New Town are visible during the landing approach.

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers excellent views of the complex river networks of South Asia and the impressive urban density of the Pearl River Delta as you approach Guangzhou. Keep an eye out for the city lights if arriving after dark.
