Which side of the plane to sit from Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the Himalayan mountain range immediately after takeoff from Kathmandu, followed by striking desert landscapes and a clear view of Doha's northern developments upon arrival.
Search flights from KTM to DOH
Himalayan Range
Breathtaking views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu massifs shortly after departure.
Thar Desert
The golden rolling dunes and arid landscapes of Rajasthan stretching toward the horizon.
Makran Coastline
The rugged, jagged cliffs of the Iranian coast visible across the Gulf of Oman.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate man-made island oyster shape is clearly visible during northern descent patterns.
Lusail Stadium
The golden bowl-shaped venue of the World Cup Final visible from high altitude over northern Qatar.
The first 30-45 minutes are the most critical; keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up for the Himalayas. Morning flights (08:00-11:00) offer the crispest mountain views before afternoon haze builds. To avoid the wing obstructing the mountains, choose a seat in the first 10 rows or the very back of the aircraft.

Indo-Gangetic Plain
Vast stretches of agricultural land and the intricate river systems of Northern India.
Great Rann of Kutch
The unique white salt marshes of Gujarat visible as the plane nears the Arabian Sea.
Doha West Bay
A stunning view of the futuristic skyscraper cluster and the Corniche on standard southern approaches.
Stadium 974
The iconic modular shipping container stadium visible just before touchdown at Hamad International.
Gulf of Oman
Expansive views of the deep blue sea and busy shipping lanes entering the Persian Gulf.
The left side is superior for sunset photography on afternoon flights as the sun descends over the Arabian Peninsula. On arrival, it often provides the best angle for the Doha city skyline if the aircraft approaches from the south over the sea. Sit behind the wing to ensure engine heat haze doesn't blur your photos of the Kutch salt pans.
