Which side of the plane to sit from Imphal Airport (Imphal) to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography and a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the Manipur hills to the Meghalaya plateau and the vast river networks of Bangladesh.
Search flights from IMF to CCU
Barail Range
The rugged mountain spine separating Manipur from the Brahmaputra valley, visible early in the flight.
Meghalaya Plateau
The steep northern escarpments of the Shillong plateau, home to some of the world's highest rainfall areas.
Distant Himalayas
On exceptionally clear days, particularly in post-monsoon or winter months, snow peaks may be visible to the far north.
Jamuna River
The wide, braided channels of the Brahmaputra as it flows south through the heart of Bangladesh.
Dhaka Metropolis
A sprawling aerial view of the densely populated capital of Bangladesh during the cruise phase.
This is the preferred side for the best lighting throughout the day. Look for the sharp contrast between the deep green hills and the flat, water-logged plains of the Bengal Delta. Winter flights (Nov-Feb) offer the best chance to spot the Himalayan range to the north.

Loktak Lake
View the iconic floating 'phumdis' on Northeast India's largest freshwater lake shortly after takeoff.
Lushai Hills
The rolling green ridges of Mizoram stretching toward the southern horizon.
Sylhet Tea Estates
The distinctive geometric patterns of the Surma Valley tea gardens in eastern Bangladesh.
Padma-Meghna Confluence
The massive meeting point of the Ganges and Meghna river systems near the delta.
Sundarbans Fringes
Glimpses of the dense mangrove forests and intricate tidal creeks as you approach West Bengal.
Sit here for an immediate view of Loktak Lake after departure from Imphal. For morning flights, keep window shades partially closed as the sun will be on this side, potentially causing glare during the mid-flight over Bangladesh.
