Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic transition from the rugged North Cachar Hills to the expansive Brahmaputra River valley, providing a superior view of the region's unique geography during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Dima Hasao Valleys

Deep, forested valleys and winding rivers that characterize the North Cachar Hills region.

🚂

Jatinga Valley

The famous valley known for its unique migratory bird phenomena and rugged terrain.

🌊

Brahmaputra River

Grand views of one of Asia's largest rivers as the flight descends into the Guwahati valley.

🦆

Deepor Beel

A glimpse of the large permanent freshwater lake and bird sanctuary on the outskirts of Guwahati.

The right side is ideal for catching the vastness of the Brahmaputra River during the descent into GAU. For early morning flights, the mist rising from the valleys of Dima Hasao creates a mystical atmosphere. On clear days, you may see the distant peaks of the Arunachal Himalayas to the far north.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Barail Range

Vibrant green ridges of the Barail mountains visible shortly after takeoff from Silchar.

🍵

Cachar Tea Gardens

Aerial patterns of lush tea estates sprawling across the plains near the Barak River.

🏘️

Haflong Town

The only hill station in Assam nestled among the peaks of the Dima Hasao district.

🌄

Sunset Horizons

Spectacular golden hour views over the undulating hills when flying on late afternoon segments.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the landscape without the sun's glare. During monsoon season, this side provides incredible views of seasonal waterfalls cascading down the Barail slopes. Keep your camera ready within 10 minutes of takeoff for the best mountain shots.
