Which side of the plane to sit from Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the Himalayan range shortly after takeoff, including Mount Everest, which is the highlight of this entire flight route.
Himalayan Panorama
Immediately after takeoff, witness the world's highest peaks including Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu on the northern horizon.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
View the intricate network of rivers and the lush greenery of the world's largest delta system over Bangladesh.
Gulf of Thailand
As the flight crosses the Malay Peninsula, look out for the turquoise waters and coastal developments of the eastern Thai coast.
Johor Bahru
During the final descent, clear views of the Malaysian city of Johor Bahru and the bridge connecting it to Singapore.
The most critical portion of the flight is the first 20-30 minutes after departing KTM. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to see Everest. Morning flights (departing before 10:00 AM) are highly recommended as clouds and haze often obscure the mountain views in the afternoon. During the approach to Changi, the left side often provides a view of the Singapore skyline if the plane approaches from the north.
Kathmandu Valley
Aerial perspectives of the historic city and the surrounding terraced hills of the Bagmati region.
Andaman Sea Islands
Stunning views of the Mergui Archipelago and remote islands off the coast of Myanmar and Thailand.
Singapore Strait
Dozens of massive cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest maritime channels.
Sumatran Coastline
On clear days, the distant coastline of Sumatra, Indonesia, can be seen across the Malacca Strait.
The right side is excellent for maritime enthusiasts. As you approach Singapore, the sheer number of ships in the strait is a sight to behold. For photographers, the right side is generally better for sunset views if the flight is in the late afternoon, as the sun will be on this side of the aircraft for most of the southward journey.
