KTM → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides one of the most spectacular aerial views in the world, featuring a direct line of sight to Mount Everest and the Great Himalayan Range shortly after takeoff.
Search flights from KTM to HKG
Mount Everest & Lhotse
Approximately 15 to 25 minutes after departure, the world's highest peaks are visible in their full majesty to the north.
Makalu
The isolated, pyramid-shaped fifth highest mountain in the world stands out clearly in the eastern Himalayan chain.
Tibetan Plateau
The high-altitude 'Roof of the World' stretches across the horizon with its arid, vast landscapes.
Hengduan Mountains
Deep river gorges and rugged peaks as the flight path crosses from Myanmar into Yunnan Province, China.
Pearl River Delta
The sprawling megalopolis of the Greater Bay Area comes into view during the final descent into Hong Kong.
For the ultimate experience, book a window seat on the left side (typically seat A) and choose a morning flight. Cloud cover often builds up by noon, obscuring the Himalayan peaks. Have your camera ready within 10 minutes of takeoff as the plane reaches cruising altitude quickly.

Terai Lowlands
The lush, flat plains of southern Nepal and northern India provide a stark contrast to the mountains.
Brahmaputra River
The massive, winding river system can be seen carving through the landscape of Bangladesh and Northeast India.
Indo-Burman Ranges
Densely forested hills and undulating terrain of Myanmar and the Thai-Burma border regions.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A stunning view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge during the approach to HKG airport.
Lantau Island
The green peaks of Lantau and the Big Buddha statue are often visible during the final moments of flight.
The right side is excellent for observing the coastal geography and the massive infrastructure of the Pearl River Delta during landing. It also avoids the direct glare of the sun on morning flights heading east. Look for the Big Buddha on Lantau Island just before touchdown.
