Search flights from KTM to BHR
Langtang Lirung
Dominating the northern horizon immediately after departure, offering sharp glacial details.
Ganesh Himal
A massive snow-capped range with several distinct peaks that stay in view for the majority of the flight.
Mount Manaslu
The eighth highest mountain in the world is visible as a prominent serrated peak to the northwest.
Gorkha Ridge
The historical ancestral home of the Shah dynasty perched atop a steep hill overlooking the valleys.
Trishuli River
The turquoise waters of the Trishuli River carving a deep path through the mid-hill gorges.
Annapurna Massif
On very clear days, the distant peaks of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre can be seen further to the west.
The right side is essential for Himalayan views. Book an early morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to ensure the peaks are not obscured by clouds, which tend to build up by midday. Request a seat toward the front or rear of the aircraft to avoid the wing and engine exhaust, which can blur your photos of the snow-capped mountains.

Kathmandu Valley
Aerial view of the sprawling capital city and the historic sites of Patan and Bhaktapur shortly after takeoff.
Chandragiri Hills
A clear view of the lush green ridges and the cable car line connecting the valley to the hilltop temple.
Kulekhani Reservoir
The deep blue waters of the Indra Sarobar dam tucked between the steep hills of the Makwanpur district.
Chitwan National Park
Dense tropical forests and grasslands of the UNESCO world heritage site visible during the final descent.
Narayani River
The wide, meandering river system that defines the landscape of the Bharatpur and Narayangarh region.
Choose the left side for better views of the Kathmandu Valley's urban geography and the dramatic transition from the high hills to the flat Terai plains. This side is particularly scenic during the golden hour in the late afternoon when the sun illuminates the southern slopes of the Mahabharat range.
