Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the clear winner for this route, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Eastern Himalayan range, including snow-capped peaks and the high-altitude terrain of Southern China and Bhutan.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
Dramatic karst topography and rugged mountain landscapes as the flight crosses Southern China.
Eastern Himalayas
Stunning views of the snow-clad peaks of Bhutan and the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
Brahmaputra River
The massive river winding through the Assam valley like a giant silver ribbon.
Mount Kanchenjunga
On clear days, the world's third-highest peak can be seen towering on the horizon to the north.
Kunming
The 'City of Eternal Spring' nestled among high-altitude lakes and mountains.
For the most iconic experience, secure a right-side window seat far from the wing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the Himalayan peaks from the south. Visibility is best from November to February when the post-monsoon air is crisp and free of haze, making the high-altitude glaciers clearly visible.
Taipei Cityscape
Aerial views of Taipei 101 and the northern coastline of Taiwan shortly after departure.
South China Sea
Deep blue waters with patterns of shipping lanes as the flight exits Taiwan's airspace.
Ganges Delta
The intricate, shimmering network of the world's largest delta system across Bangladesh.
Dhaka
The dense urban sprawl of the Bangladeshi capital visible during the mid-flight transition.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
A vast patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages stretching across North India.
Choose the left side for better views of the Taiwan Strait and the massive river systems of Bangladesh. This side is also preferred on afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, providing a more comfortable viewing experience of the Indian plains as you descend into Delhi.
