Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular panorama of the snow-capped Garhwal Himalayas throughout the second half of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Himalayan Peaks

On clear days, the majestic peaks of the Garhwal range, including Nanda Devi and Trishul, are visible in the distance.

🌊

The Holy Ganges

Watch the Ganges River snake through the plains and its exit point from the mountains near Haridwar.

🌲

Terai Forests

The transition from flat farmland to the dense green canopy of the Rajaji National Park and the Terai belt.

⛰️

Doon Valley Entry

A dramatic view of the Shivalik hills rising abruptly from the plains as the aircraft prepares for landing.

The right side is non-negotiable for mountain lovers. Book an early morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to ensure the highest probability of clear Himalayan views before the haze and clouds build up. Window seats F or K are ideal. Keep your camera ready as you pass the halfway mark between Lucknow and Dehradun.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🕌

Lucknow Heritage

Aerial views of the Gomti River and the historic architecture of the 'City of Nawabs' shortly after takeoff.

🚜

Gangetic Heartland

The vast, intricate patchwork of agricultural fields that define the fertile plains of Uttar Pradesh.

🏙️

Bareilly Urban Scrawl

A clear view of the dense urban layout and industrial pockets of Bareilly city mid-flight.

🏘️

Roorkee Landscape

Views of the Upper Ganges Canal and the organized layout of the historic engineering town during descent.

Sit on the left for better views of the sunset on late afternoon flights. This side is generally quieter visually but offers great perspective on the scale of Indian agriculture. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the plains.
