Which side of the plane to sit from Dhangarhi Airport (Dhangarhi) to Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu)?
Left Side of the Plane
Flying west to east along the Himalayan arc, the left side offers a continuous and breathtaking panorama of the world's highest peaks, including several 8,000-meter giants.

Dhaulagiri Massif
The world's seventh-highest peak, standing at 8,167 meters, dominates the northern horizon mid-flight.
Annapurna Range
A spectacular series of peaks including the iconic fishtail mountain, Machhapuchhre, visible in central Nepal.
Manaslu
The eighth-highest mountain in the world appears as a sharp pyramid as the aircraft moves toward central Nepal.
Ganesh Himal
A stunning sub-range of the Himalayas that marks the approach into the Kathmandu region.
Mahabharat Range
The lush green 'Lesser Himalayas' provide a foreground of deep valleys and terraced hillsides.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights (before 10:00 AM) are essential as clouds typically obscure the high peaks by midday. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the mountains emerge quickly.

Terai Plains
The flat, fertile lowlands of Nepal showing the distinct agricultural patterns and patchwork fields.
Bardiya Forest
Dense green patches of protected forest areas visible shortly after departing from Dhangarhi.
Karnali River
The longest river in Nepal, seen meandering through the plains near the start of the journey.
Kathmandu Urban Sprawl
The dense, colorful residential clusters of the capital city become visible during the final descent.
While less dramatic than the mountains, this side is better for observing the cultural landscape and river systems. It is also the sunnier side for morning flights, so bring sunglasses to reduce glare when looking out.
