KULLHE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the distant but majestic Himalayan horizon as you approach Northern India, the sprawling urban layout of New Delhi, and the lush agricultural patterns of the Punjab region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Himalayan Silhouette

On clear days, the northern horizon reveals the distant, snow-capped peaks of the world's highest mountain range.

🏙️

New Delhi Metro

A spectacular view of India's capital city, often passing near the organized grid of Lutyens' Delhi.

🌾

Ganges-Yamuna Doab

The fertile land between India's two most sacred rivers, characterized by intense green agriculture.

🌅

Sunsets

On afternoon flights, the right side catches the golden hour and sunset over the plains of the subcontinent.

🏘️

Lahore Cityscape

A detailed view of the Walled City and the Minar-e-Pakistan during the final approach into LHE.

The right side is the premium choice for this route. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Himalayas. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; as you fly northwest, the sun will set to your left, illuminating the landscapes on the right with a soft, warm glow. During the monsoon season (July-September), look for massive, towering cumulonimbus clouds that are common over the Bay of Bengal.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Andaman Archipelago

Glimpse the emerald islands of the Andaman and Nicobar chain early in the flight over the deep blue sea.

🌊

Bay of Bengal

A vast expanse of sapphire water with intricate cloud formations typical of tropical maritime weather.

🏖️

Odisha Coastline

The entry point into the Indian subcontinent, featuring the unique geography of the Mahanadi River delta.

🏜️

Central Indian Plateau

Rugged, arid terrain transitioning from the green coastal belts to the dryer landscapes of Madhya Pradesh.

🚜

Indus Plains

The final descent offers a view of the vast, irrigated patchwork of the Pakistani Punjab landscape.

Opt for the left side if you enjoy maritime views and the transition from ocean to the dry interior of India. On morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the ship traffic near the Malacca Strait shortly after takeoff from KUL.
