Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a breathtaking and continuous panorama of the Great Himalayan Range, including glimpses of the world's highest peaks like Everest and Kanchenjunga on clear days.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

High Himalayan Peaks

Witness a continuous chain of snow-capped mountains spanning the horizon throughout the mid-flight segment.

🗻

Mt. Everest & Makalu

On clear days, the world's highest peaks are visible in the far distance towards the Nepal border.

🏔️

Kanchenjunga Massif

As the flight approaches Bagdogra, the world's third-highest peak dominates the skyline with its massive five-peaked structure.

🌄

Nepal Foothills

A view of the dramatic transition from the high mountains to the lush green Mahabharat Range.

💧

Teesta River Valley

Watch the winding turquoise waters of the Teesta River as it snakes through the mountains toward the plains during descent.

Secure a window seat (typically 'A') well ahead of the wing for unobstructed views. Morning flights (07:00-10:00 AM) are essential to avoid the afternoon haze and cloud cover that often obscures the peaks. During winter, the air is clearest, providing the most dramatic contrast between the white snow and the blue sky.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🏙️

Delhi-NCR Sprawl

Aerial perspective of the massive urban grid and landmarks of the National Capital Region immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Ganges River System

Spot the holy Ganges and its tributaries carving wide, silver paths through the fertile plains of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

🌾

Indo-Gangetic Plain

A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and rural settlements showing the heart of India's agrarian landscape.

🌆

Patna Urban Area

Views of the sprawling capital of Bihar located near the confluence of the Ganges and Sone rivers.

Choose an 'F' seat for better lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft. While less dramatic than the mountains, this side is excellent for observing the intricate patterns of Indian agriculture and river geography. Look for the glint of the sun reflecting off the massive river basins during the mid-portion of the journey.
