Which side of the plane to sit from Sentani International Airport (Jayapura) to Oksibil Airport (Oksibil)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers the most dramatic views of the rising Pegunungan Bintang (Star Mountains) and the rugged limestone terrain that characterizes the heart of Papua's highlands.
Cycloop Range Silhouette
A final look at the rugged coastal mountains that guard the northern Jayapura coastline during the climb.
Pegunungan Bintang
Stunning views of the 'Star Mountains' as the aircraft gains altitude over the central cordillera.
Hidden Gorges
Deep, narrow valleys often filled with morning mist, revealing the extreme isolation of the highland communities.
Oksibil Valley Entry
A front-row seat to the dramatic descent into the high-altitude valley where Oksibil is located.
The Right Side is the primary choice for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for the earliest flight possible (typically between 06:00 and 09:00) because heavy afternoon cloud cover often obscures the peaks by midday. Watch for the sharp limestone ridges as you approach Oksibil Airport.
Sentani Lake Mosaic
Immediately after takeoff, witness the sprawling lake with its 22 islands and unique stilt-house villages.
Border Wilderness
Vast stretches of primary rainforest extending toward the Papua New Guinea border, showcasing absolute biodiversity.
Tributary Networks
Intricate, winding river systems that appear like silver veins through the deep green canopy of the southern lowlands.
Sit on the left for softer morning light that highlights the texture of the forest canopy. This side is particularly interesting for observing the transition from the coastal plains to the foothill regions near the border.
