Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the majestic Himalayan range as you approach Nepal, providing views of some of the world's highest peaks including the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs.

Thar Desert Fringes
View the northern edges of the Great Indian Desert with its unique golden sand patterns.
Delhi NCR
On clear days, the sprawling urban landscape of India's capital region is visible to the north.
Dhaulagiri Peak
The seventh highest mountain in the world marks the beginning of the high Himalayan spectacle.
Annapurna Massif
A stunning panoramic view of the Annapurna peaks as the flight tracks along the border of the mountains.
Manaslu
Another 8,000-meter giant visible shortly before the final descent into the Kathmandu Valley.
Sit on the left side (A/B seats) for the best mountain views. Choose a morning flight to avoid afternoon haze and to ensure the sun is behind or above the plane, illuminating the peaks clearly. A seat ahead of the wing is ideal to keep the engine and wing out of your photographs of the Himalayan skyline.

Ganges River
The wide, meandering path of the holy Ganges river flowing through the plains of Uttar Pradesh.
Kathmandu Valley Floor

While the right side (E/F seats) misses the high peaks, it offers better views of the North Indian plains and the Aravalli mountains. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side often provides dramatic views of towering cloud formations and lightning if flying at dusk.
