Ganesh Himal
A stunning cluster of peaks located just north of the initial flight path out of Kathmandu.
Manaslu Massif
Clear views of the world's eighth-highest mountain, standing at 8,163 meters.
Annapurna Range
A massive wall of snow and ice featuring Annapurna I, II, III, and IV.
Machhapuchhre
The iconic 'Fishtail' peak, famous for its unique double-pointed summit and its sacred status.
Dhaulagiri
The seventh-highest mountain in the world, marking the end of the high Himalayan vista on this route.
Mountain Sea
A spectacular view of clouds settling in the valleys below the towering white summits.
The right side is mandatory for mountain lovers. Most flights between Kathmandu and Nepalgunj are in the morning; book a seat as early as possible (before 9:00 AM) to ensure the peaks aren't obscured by midday clouds. Request a seat toward the rear of the aircraft (rows 7 or further back on common ATR models) to ensure the engine and wings do not block your view of the 8,000-meter massifs.

Kathmandu Valley
Aerial view of the sprawling capital city and its surrounding emerald hills during takeoff.
Trisuli River
A major river winding through deep valleys, visible as a turquoise thread below the flight path.
Hill Terraces
Intricate patterns of centuries-old agricultural terracing carved into the steep mid-hill landscapes.
Chure Range
The southernmost hills of the Himalayas, showing the transition into the flat Terai plains.
Nepalgunj Urban View
The growing industrial and residential landscape of western Nepal's largest city during descent.
Choose the left side if you prefer seeing the geographical transition from the high hills to the flat southern plains. This side is typically less crowded and offers softer lighting during afternoon flights, which is ideal for capturing the textures of the terraced fields and river valleys without the intense glare from the northern snowcaps.
