GAU → AJL
Which side of the plane to sit from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati) to Lengpui Airport (Aizwal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic visual experience, featuring the stark transition from the rugged Khasi and Mizo hills to the vast, flat floodplains of Bangladesh to the west.

Khasi Escarpments
The steep southern face of the Meghalaya plateau, home to some of the world's highest rainfall zones.
Bangladesh Plains
A stunning horizon view of the flat, emerald-green Sylhet division, contrasting sharply with the Indian hills.
Tlawng River Gorge
The deep, forested valley of the Tlawng River that snakes around the Aizawl ridges.
Lengpui Tabletop Runway
A spectacular perspective of the airport runway perched uniquely on a leveled mountain ridge.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Bengal delta. Be prepared for a short flight duration; the descent into Lengpui happens quickly, so keep your window shade up to see the dramatic tabletop landing approach.

Guwahati Cityscape
Aerial views of the capital city and the southern banks of the Brahmaputra River during departure.
Jaintia Hills
Rolling limestone landscapes and dense evergreen forests of the eastern Meghalaya plateau.
Barak River Meanders
Intricate, snake-like loops of the Barak River as it flows through the fertile Cachar valley.
Inner Line Forest
Expansive views of the protected forest reserves that border Assam and Mizoram.
Choose the left side for early morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the hills without direct sun glare. This side is better for spotting the confluence of small mountain streams joining the larger river systems below.
