Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

A continuous panoramic view of the world's highest mountain range sitting on the northern horizon.

🗻

Nanda Devi & Trisul

Clear views of the prominent peaks of the Uttarakhand Himalayas as the flight moves westward.

🌲

Terai Foothills

The transition from the flat plains to the lush, forested rolling hills of southern Nepal and India.

💧

Ghaghara River

The wide, braided channels of the Ghaghara River as it flows down from the mountains.

🏟️

Noida Landmarks

On the descent, look for the Buddh International Circuit and the high-rise clusters of Greater Noida.

The right side is the 'mountain side'. For the most dramatic views, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the southern face of the Himalayas. The best visibility occurs from October to March after the monsoon has cleared the dust from the air.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Ganga-Sone Confluence

View the massive meeting point of the Sone and Ganges rivers shortly after takeoff from Patna.

🏙️

Varanasi & Prayagraj

Distant glimpses of these historic cities located along the southern bank of the Ganges corridor.

🚜

Indo-Gangetic Patchwork

An endless grid of fertile agricultural land showing the intense cultivation of the heartland.

🏭

Kanpur Urban Sprawl

The industrial landscape and dense urbanization of one of North India's largest manufacturing hubs.

🐍

Yamuna River Meanders

The winding path of the Yamuna River as the flight approaches the National Capital Region.

The left side is preferable for sunset flights to witness the orange glow over the plains. It is also better for spotting the major river bends of the Ganges. Try to sit behind the wing to avoid engine glare when photographing the river reflections.
