Search flights from DEL to GAU
Himalayan Range
A continuous view of the snow-capped peaks of the central and eastern Himalayas stretching across the horizon.
Mount Everest
On clear days, the distinct pyramid shape of the world's highest mountain is visible in the distance over Nepal.
Kanchenjunga
The massive five-peaked massif of the world's third-highest mountain becomes clearly visible as you approach West Bengal.
Teesta River
The turquoise waters of the Teesta River winding through the foothills of the Himalayas near the Siliguri corridor.
Dooars Forests
Dense green stretches of the Mahananda and Gorumara wildlife sanctuaries visible during the descent into the Northeast.
Book an early morning flight (between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM) to ensure the highest probability of clear, cloud-free mountain views. Request a seat ahead of the wing (Rows 5-10) to avoid engine heat haze and wing obstruction. In winter, the visibility is significantly better due to lower humidity and less haze over the plains.

The right side is excellent for observing India's river systems and urban density. During the monsoon season, this side offers dramatic views of the flooded plains and lush greenery. For night flights, this side is preferable as it showcases the dense light clusters of major cities like Lucknow and Patna.
