Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Kathmandu to Delhi. While left seats win on takeoff, right seats provide the more dramatic and sustained views during the approach and landing phase, which typically lasts longer and offers more time for observation. The Yamuna River approach is a distinctive feature of DEL arrivals.

During takeoff from Tribhuvan International (KTM), sit on the Left side for the best views. KTM typically departs runway 02 (northbound) or 20 (southbound). Left seats offer the best view of the Kathmandu Valley's northern rim and the Himalayan foothills during initial climb. The Bagmati River valley and surrounding ridges are more prominent on the left side during northbound departures. Notable sights include: Kathmandu Valley rim (Shivapuri and Nagarjun ridges to the north), Bagmati River gorge cutting through the valley, Swayambhunath stupa area on the western valley slopes, Himalayan foothills rising progressively northward.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. DEL uses runways 09L/27R and 09R/27L. Approaching from the west (typical for KTM arrivals), right-side seats provide superior views of the Yamuna River, Delhi's urban sprawl, and the transition from agricultural plains to the city. The river's distinctive curves and the city's grid pattern are more visible on the right during westerly approaches. Notable sights include: Yamuna River with its characteristic meanders, Delhi's urban grid and major districts (Dwarka visible to the south), agricultural fields of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, Aravalli Ridge foothills to the south.

The flight from Tribhuvan International (KTM) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Indo-Gangetic Plain, transitioning from the Himalayan foothills near Kathmandu to the flat agricultural plains of northern India. The Mahabharat Range (lower Himalayan foothills) recedes to the north. The Ganges River system and its tributaries become visible in the midpoint, with the landscape progressively flattening. Agricultural fields dominate the visible terrain for most of the flight. On clear days, the Aravalli Ridge becomes visible as a distant line of hills to the south as the aircraft approaches Delhi.
