Eastern Himalayan Range
On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped peaks of Bhutan and Sikkim are visible on the northern horizon.
Brahmaputra River
The massive, braided riverbed with its ever-shifting sandbars is a highlight shortly after departure.
Bengal Paddy Fields
A vibrant green and yellow patchwork of agricultural land spanning the Gangetic plains.
Farakka Barrage
The significant dam structure spanning the Ganges, identifiable by its long, linear shadow and water turbulence.
Kolkata Urban Spread
A sweeping view of the Hooghly River and the historic Howrah Bridge during the final approach into CCU.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the Himalayan peaks to the north. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the unique braided morphology of the Brahmaputra River. Seasonal visibility is highest from October to February when the air is clearest.

Naga Hills
Dense, undulating greenery of the Patkai range visible immediately after takeoff from Dimapur.
Surma Valley Haors
Large, bowl-shaped tectonic depressions in Bangladesh that appear as massive inland seas during monsoon.
Dhaka Perimeter
The dense urban sprawl and intense river traffic surrounding the Bangladesh capital from a distance.
Sundarbans Fringe
The northern edge of the world's largest mangrove forest, characterized by dark green canopies and silty water.
Sit on the left for better views of the intricate delta water networks of Bangladesh. This side is preferable for afternoon flights as it remains shaded, preventing glare from the sun when looking down at the reflective wetlands.
