Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior scenic experience with the potential for panoramic views of the distant Himalayan peaks in Nepal and the lush tea-growing regions of North Bengal and Bangladesh.
Himalayan Panorama
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Nepal Himalayas, including potential glimpses of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, are visible to the north.
Indo-Gangetic Heartland
A high-altitude view of the densely populated and intensely cultivated plains of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Sub-Himalayan Tea Gardens
Lush, geometric tea plantations near the Siliguri corridor and the northern borders of Bangladesh.
Brahmaputra/Jamuna River
The dramatic crossing of the massive Jamuna River as the flight enters the heart of Bangladesh.
For the best chance to see the Himalayas, book a morning flight when the air is clearest. During winter months (November to February), ground haze is common, but mountain peaks often pierce through the smog. Request a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the horizon.
Ganges River Course
The winding path of the holy Ganges (Ganga) river as it meanders toward the Bay of Bengal.
Urban Clusters
Views of secondary urban centers like Patna and Malda situated along the southern riverbanks.
Deltaic Wetlands
An intricate network of small rivers, ponds, and waterbodies that define the rural Bangladeshi landscape.
Dhaka Approach
A low-altitude view of the dense urban fabric and vibrant colors of the Dhaka metropolitan area during descent.
The right side is excellent for observing the riverine geography of the delta. In the late afternoon, the sun reflects beautifully off the water channels. This side is also preferred during the monsoon season to witness the dramatic transformation of the landscape into a vast, flooded emerald expanse.
