Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

As the flight heads north into the heart of the Himalayas, the right side offers a front-row seat to the highest snow-capped peaks and deep river gorges of the Pir Panjal and Great Himalayan ranges.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Dhauladhar Range

Stunning snow-clad peaks visible shortly after takeoff, marking the beginning of the high Himalayas.

❄️

Kishtwar Himalayas

Views of remote, jagged peaks and glaciers that remain snow-covered throughout the year.

🏞️

Chenab River Valley

Deep, dramatic gorges carved by the Chenab River as it winds through the mountainous terrain below.

🏔️

Pir Panjal Peaks

Extremely close views of the dramatic ridge line that guards the southern entrance to Srinagar.

🏙️

Srinagar Basin

A panoramic reveal of the lush Kashmir Valley and the sprawling city of Srinagar during the final approach.

The right side is the undisputed winner for mountain lovers. Book a window seat well away from the wing for unobstructed photography. Morning flights (before 10 AM) are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains with golden light. In winter, the entire landscape is a pristine white blanket; in summer, look for the stark contrast between the green valleys and white summits.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌄

Shivalik Range

The initial ascent provides views of the undulating green foothills that separate the plains from the high mountains.

🌊

Ranjit Sagar Dam

A massive reservoir on the Ravi River often visible on the boundary of Punjab and Jammu.

🏔️

Western Pir Panjal

Sweeping views of the outer mountain barrier as the aircraft begins its descent into the Kashmir Valley.

The left side is preferable during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. While less mountainous than the right, it offers a wider perspective of the landscape transitioning from the plains of Punjab to the rugged terrain of Jammu.
