Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior primarily for the iconic view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure and the sweeping views of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau during the middle and latter stages of the flight.
Search flights from NRT to DEL
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; Japan's most famous peak is clearly visible on the right shortly after takeoff from NRT.
Japanese Alps
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of central Honshu providing a dramatic backdrop as you cross Japan.
Tibetan Plateau
The 'Roof of the World' offers stunning high-altitude desert landscapes and crystalline lakes.
Himalayan Panorama
As the flight tracks toward Delhi, the northern horizon is dominated by the world's highest mountain range.
Gurugram Skyline
The modern glass skyscrapers of India's 'Cyber City' are often visible during the descent into DEL.
Be ready with your camera within the first 20-30 minutes of takeoff for Mount Fuji. For the Himalayas, visibility is best on morning flights before the afternoon haze builds up. If flying in winter, the mountains are exceptionally clear. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion during photography.

Pacific Coastal Views
Expansive views of the Sagami Bay and the Izu Peninsula shortly after departing Narita.
Chinese Mega-cities
Potential views of the urban sprawls of Southern China and the Yangtze River delta.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
The lush, green patchwork of the world's largest delta as the plane enters South Asian airspace.
South Delhi Heritage
Glimpses of historic monuments and the dense urban forest of South Delhi during the final approach.
Choose the left side for a more tranquil view of the ocean and the fertile plains of India. This side is typically better if you want to avoid the direct afternoon sun when flying westward during the later part of the day, reducing glare on your window.
