SIN β KTM
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a world-class view of the Himalayan range, including Mount Everest, as you approach Nepal from the southeast.
Malaysian Coastline
Scenic views of the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia and the turquoise waters of the Malacca Strait.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
The intricate 'ribbon' patterns of the massive river delta across Bangladesh and West Bengal.
The Himalayan Wall
The spectacular sight of the snow-capped Great Himalaya Range rising sharply from the plains.
Mount Everest (Sagarmatha)
On clear days, the distinct pyramid of the world's highest peak is visible to the north-northeast during the approach.
Kanchenjunga and Makalu
Massive 8,000-meter peaks that dominate the horizon as the flight crosses into Nepalese airspace.
This is the premier side for mountain lovers. Ensure you are in a window seat well clear of the wing. The most dramatic views occur in the final 45 minutes of the flight. Morning flights (departing SIN early) are highly recommended, as the Himalayas are often obscured by clouds and haze in the afternoon. Look for the white peaks appearing above the clouds about 30 minutes before landing.
Singapore Strait
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the Singapore skyline shortly after takeoff.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Emerald green archipelagos scattered across the deep blue waters of the Andaman Sea.
Bay of Bengal
A vast expanse of ocean that transitions into the complex river systems of the Indian subcontinent.
Sundarbans Mangroves
The world's largest mangrove forest, visible as a dark green maze of tidal rivers and islands.
Kathmandu Valley View
A sweeping view of the terraced hills and the dense urban sprawl of Kathmandu during the final descent.
Sit on the left for better views of the Singapore coastline during takeoff and the sprawling Sundarbans delta. This side is better for avoiding direct sunlight glare on morning flights heading northwest.
