Which side of the plane to sit from Heho Airport (Heho) to Yangon International Airport (Yangon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic view of Inle Lake immediately after departure and the lush landscapes of the Sittaung River basin.
Inle Lake
Glimpse the vast freshwater lake and its floating villages shortly after takeoff.
Shan Plateau
Rugged limestone mountains and deep valleys typical of eastern Burma.
Sittaung River
A winding waterway that separates the Shan Hills from the Bago Yoma range.
Bago City
Distant views of the massive Shwemawdaw Pagoda and historical landmarks.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to see the mist rising from the Shan Hills without sun glare. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for Inle Lake.
Kalaw Highlands
Dense pine forests and hill stations visible as the plane leaves the plateau.
Bago Yoma
The central mountain range known for its teak forests and wildlife.
Hlawga National Park
A large lake and nature reserve located just north of Yangon.
Shwedagon Pagoda
The brilliant golden spire of Myanmar's most sacred site during the final approach.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Irrawaddy plains and a potentially lit-up Shwedagon Pagoda during the descent.
