Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a panoramic view of the vast Indo-Gangetic plains, the majestic curve of the Ganges River, and potential sightings of the distant Himalayan peaks on exceptionally clear days during the winter months.
Thar Desert
Observe the shifting golden sands and arid landscapes as the flight crosses from Sindh into Rajasthan.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear winter days, look far north to see the faint white outlines of the world's highest mountain range.
The Ganges Path
View the incredible scale of the Ganges River as it snakes through the fertile plains of North India.
Jaipur and Varanasi
Spot the organized layouts of the Pink City and the ancient clusters of Varanasi depending on the specific airway.
Bengal Floodplains
As you approach Dhaka, the landscape transforms into a vibrant, lush green carpet of paddy fields.
For the best visibility, book a morning flight during the post-monsoon or winter season (October to February) when the air is cleanest. Sit several rows ahead or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the horizon. The left side is particularly advantageous for avoiding direct sunlight during eastbound afternoon flights, which reduces window glare for photography.
Rann of Kutch
Marvel at the unique white salt crusts of the Great Rann near the Pakistan-India border.
Vindhya Ranges
Look down upon the rugged plateaus and forested hills of Central India's ancient mountain systems.
Sundarbans Edge
Catch glimpses of the dense mangrove canopy where the land meets the Bay of Bengal during southern approaches.
The Delta Mesh
Witness the mesmerizing network of thousands of river tributaries forming the world's largest delta.
Kolkata Suburbs
Observe the dense urban sprawl and industrial zones surrounding the West Bengal capital during the transit.
The right side is ideal for sunrise views if taking an early morning flight. During the descent into Dhaka, focus your attention downward to see the intricate 'veins' of the Bengal Delta. Ensure you have a window seat that is not directly over the wing to capture the complex water patterns and the emerald greenery of the Bangladeshi countryside.
