Which side of the plane to sit from Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) to Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a legendary front-row seat to the highest mountain ranges on Earth, including the Langtang, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri massifs, followed by the rugged peaks of the Hindu Kush.

Himalayan Giants
Immediate views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal ranges shortly after takeoff from Kathmandu.
Annapurna & Dhaulagiri
Spectacular sightings of 8,000-meter peaks as the flight proceeds west along the mountain spine.
Hindu Kush Range
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of northern Pakistan and Afghanistan visible in the distance.
Gulf of Oman
The dramatic contrast between the deep turquoise waters and the arid Makran coastline.
Hajar Mountains
The craggy, dark limestone peaks of the UAE and Oman during the descent into Sharjah.
For the most breathtaking views, book a window seat on the right side for a morning departure. The sun will be behind or above you, perfectly illuminating the Himalayan peaks. Keep your camera ready during the first 45 minutes of the flight for the most dramatic mountain scenery.

Indo-Gangetic Plain
Vast, emerald-green agricultural fields stretching across northern India.
Indus River Delta
Complex network of distributaries where the Indus meets the Arabian Sea near Karachi.
Sharjah Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Khalid Lagoon and the Sharjah skyline during the final approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the northern sun. This side is better for observing the meandering river systems of South Asia and provides a clear view of the urban sprawl of the UAE upon arrival.
