Which side of the plane to sit from Imphal Airport (Imphal) to Lengpui Airport (Aizwal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Imphal Valley upon departure and a dramatic perspective of the Tlawng River valley and the steep ridges surrounding Lengpui Airport.
Imphal Valley
A stunning aerial view of the Manipur capital city nestled within its mountain-ringed basin.
Barak River Meanders
Watch the winding silver threads of the Barak River as it carves through the rugged terrain of western Manipur.
Aizawl Ridge Vistas
Spectacular views of Mizo settlements perched precariously on the sharp vertical ridges of the Lushai Hills.
Lengpui Valley Descent
A thrilling view of the deep valleys and bamboo forests as the plane descends toward the tabletop runway.
The right side is ideal for the dramatic approach into Mizoram. Fly during the winter months (November to February) to avoid heavy monsoon clouds and to see the breathtaking mist settled in the deep valleys of the Tlawng River.
Loktak Lake
The largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, famous for its circular floating islands known as phumdis.
Indo-Myanmar Border Ranges
Vast stretches of the Patkai and Chin Hills that form the natural boundary with Myanmar to the east.
Keibul Lamjao National Park
The world's only floating national park, visible as a dense green mosaic on the edge of Loktak Lake.
Secure a window on the left side to see Loktak Lake almost immediately after takeoff. This view is best in the early morning when the water reflects the rising sun and the 'phumdis' are clearly defined against the blue water.
