Which side of the plane to sit from Bagdogra Airport (Baghdogra) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an extraordinary vantage point for viewing the Great Himalayan Range, featuring Kanchenjunga and other high-altitude peaks throughout the first half of the journey.
Kanchenjunga
The world's third-highest peak is often visible in stunning detail shortly after takeoff from Bagdogra.
Everest Massif
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Nepal Himalayas, including Everest, can be spotted.
Teesta Valley
Beautiful views of the deep mountain valleys and the transition from hills to plains.
Himalayan Horizon
A near-constant view of the snow-line across the northern horizon during the cruise phase.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Book a window seat in the front or rear of the aircraft to avoid the wing. Morning flights (before 10:00 AM) are highly recommended as the air is clearer and the mountains are perfectly illuminated by the morning sun.
Mahananda River
Aerial views of the meandering river systems flowing through the North Bengal plains.
Gangetic Plains
A vast, intricate patchwork of agricultural fields across Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
Delhi NCR
Expansive views of the National Capital Region's urban sprawl during the final approach.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun and to witness the city lights of Delhi during the descent. It provides a better perspective of the dense urban geography of the capital.
