Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking views of the Ganges Delta, the vast Indo-Gangetic plains, and a distant yet majestic panorama of the Himalayan range as you fly northwest towards the rugged terrain of northern Pakistan.
Ganges Delta
The intricate web of river distributaries and lush greenery of the world's largest delta system.
Varanasi and the Ganges
Aerial view of the sacred Ganges River winding through the historic plains of Uttar Pradesh.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas are visible to the north.
Delhi NCR
The massive urban sprawl of India's capital region often appears as a grid of endless activity.
Punjab Plains
The 'Breadbasket of India' with its patchwork of fertile green and gold agricultural fields.
Hindu Kush Foothills
The dramatic transition into the mountainous terrain surrounding the Peshawar valley.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right for a morning or midday flight. This side offers the best chance to see the Himalayas on the horizon. As you descend into Peshawar, the landscape becomes significantly more mountainous and dramatic; have your camera ready for the approach over the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region.
Andaman Sea
Deep blue waters as the flight leaves the Malay Peninsula heading toward the Bay of Bengal.
Odisha Coastline
The flight enters Indian airspace near the Puri coast and the vast Chilika Lake lagoon.
Deccan Plateau
Aerial views of the ancient craggy landscapes and rocky outcrops of Central India.
Narmada River
Spotting the winding path of one of India's major westward-flowing rivers.
Thar Desert Edges
As the flight nears the Pakistan border, the greenery fades into the arid textures of the desert.
The left side is preferable during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a great perspective of the transition from tropical coastlines to the arid interiors of the subcontinent. Look for the glint of the Indus River system as you cross into Pakistan.
