Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the massive Padma River and its complex delta systems, providing a clear view of the iconic Padma Bridge and the southern urban sprawl of Dhaka during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

The Padma River

Witness the immense scale of the Ganges as it merges into the Padma, displaying massive sandbars known locally as Chars.

🌉

Padma Bridge

A landmark view of the country's longest bridge, spanning the mighty river and connecting the southwest to the capital.

🛶

Buriganga River Traffic

Dense clusters of traditional country boats and large passenger launches navigating the historic waterways of Old Dhaka.

🏙️

Dhaka Urban Sprawl

The dramatic transition from rural wetlands to the incredibly dense high-rise architecture of Central and South Dhaka.

The right side is premier for evening flights; the sunset reflecting off the vast river waters is breathtaking. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the best river views, and look for the Padma Bridge roughly south of the flight path.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌾

Jessore Rural Landscapes

Infinite patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and seasonal vegetable clusters characteristic of the Khulna division.

💧

Madhumati River Tributaries

Aerial views of the winding, silt-laden water channels that carve through the rural heartland of southwestern Bangladesh.

🏭

Savar Industrial Belt

A view of the rapid industrialization zones and garment factories on the northern outskirts of Dhaka before landing.

Sit on the left side during morning flights (typically flights departing before 10:00 AM) to minimize harsh sun glare from the south. This side provides a softer light for photographing the intricate agricultural patterns of the delta.
