HANREP

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the premier choice for this route, offering a breathtaking aerial perspective of the Angkor Archaeological Park and the West Baray on the final approach to Siem Reap.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
⛰️

Ba Vi Mountains

Three prominent peaks rising dramatically from the surrounding plains west of Hanoi.

🪵

Mekong River

A stunning view of the winding Mekong River as it traverses the border region between Laos and Cambodia.

🏯

Angkor Wat

The iconic central temple and its massive surrounding moat are often visible during the final descent pattern.

🔲

West Baray

An enormous 11th-century man-made reservoir that looks like a perfect blue rectangle from the air.

🌳

Cambodian Plains

A beautiful aerial view of the rural landscape, traditional villages, and tropical greenery.

The right side is essential for temple spotting. As the plane prepares for landing at REP, look for the distinct geometric shapes of the Angkor moats. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography, as the sun illuminates the western faces of the monuments.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Hanoi Cityscape

Sprawling views of the Red River and the expanding metropolitan area of Vietnam's capital city.

🌾

Red River Delta

Intricate patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and winding waterways shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Truong Son Range

The dense, mist-shrouded peaks of the Annamite Mountains stretching along the border with Laos.

🛶

Tonle Sap Lake

The vast, ocean-like expanse of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake appearing during descent.

Opt for the left side on early morning flights to enjoy the soft light reflecting off the Tonle Sap Lake. During the wet season (May to October), the lake expands significantly, providing a much more dramatic coastline for passengers to observe.
