Which side of the plane to sit from Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) to Dhangarhi Airport (Dhangarhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a continuous, majestic panorama of the central and western Himalayan ranges, including multiple peaks over 8,000 meters.
Ganesh Himal
A stunning cluster of peaks visible almost immediately after takeoff from Kathmandu.
Manaslu
The eighth-highest mountain in the world, recognizable by its twin peaks.
Annapurna Range
A massive wall of snow-capped peaks including the iconic Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) mountain.
Dhaulagiri
The world's seventh-highest peak, standing as a massive white giant above the clouds.
Api and Saipal
The remote and rugged high peaks of Far-Western Nepal visible during the descent into Dhangarhi.
This is the premier side for mountain lovers. Book the earliest morning flight possible, ideally before 09:00, to avoid the cloud cover that typically obscures the peaks by midday. Ensure your window is clean as the photography opportunities of the 8,000m peaks are world-class on this specific route.
Kathmandu Valley
A final look at the dense urban sprawl of the capital surrounded by the lush green rim of hills.
Narayani River
View of the major river systems as they exit the hills and meander into the flat Terai plains.
Bardiya National Park
Dense forest canopies and riverine grasslands visible on the approach to Dhangarhi.
Choose this side if you prefer views of the rolling Mahabharat range hills and the vast, flat agricultural landscapes of the Terai. It is generally less prone to glare during afternoon flights heading west.
