Which side of the plane to sit from Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?

Himalayan Giants
Post-takeoff views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs, appearing like a wall of snow on the horizon.
Gandaki River Gorge
The deep, dramatic carving of the river as it exits the mountain ranges toward the plains.
Aravalli Range
Ancient, weathered mountain folds cutting through the arid landscape of North-Central India.
Western Ghats
Dramatic escarpments and verdant plateaus that mark the edge of the Deccan Plateau before the coast.
Arabian Sea Coast
The sparkling coastline of Maharashtra as the plane aligns for its final approach into BOM.
For the best Himalayan panorama, choose a morning flight (08:00-11:00) when the sun illuminates the peaks from the south. Seat F (Right Side) allows you to look back at the 8,000m peaks as the plane turns southwest. During monsoon season (June-September), clouds often obscure the mountains, making winter flights (November-February) the best choice for crystal-clear visibility.

Kathmandu Valley
A dense urban landscape surrounded by the lush green hills of the Mahabharat Range.
Terai Region
The flat, fertile plains of southern Nepal and northern India known as the breadbasket of the region.
Ganges River System
View the massive river basins and shifting sandbars of the holy Ganges and its tributaries.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A rare urban forest visible on the left during the final descent into Mumbai's northern suburbs.
Mumbai Cityscape
Aerial views of the iconic skyscrapers and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link on certain approach patterns.
The left side (Seat A) is superior for the arrival into Mumbai if the aircraft uses Runway 27, offering a sprawling view of the city's high-rises and harbor. During evening flights, this side is preferable as it avoids the direct glare of the setting sun over the Arabian Sea, making for a more comfortable cabin experience.
