The right side offers a magnificent, long-range view of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks, including visibility of the Nepal and Uttarakhand ranges on clear days.
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Ganges river's wide expanse and the impressive Farakka Barrage infrastructure.
The Right Side (Starboard) is generally preferred for this short hop as it provides the most direct views of the massive Ganges River and its major tributaries, along with a potential (though weather-dependent) distant glimpse of the Himalayan range to the north.
The right side offers a more dramatic transition from the flat Gangetic plains to the rugged, forested terrain of the Chota Nagpur Plateau, including the scenic Patratu Valley on descent.
