Which side of the plane to sit on?

[Cosmo]

Looking for feedback as to which side of the plane to request seats on for the best view for the following flights
Delhi to varanasi (if there is a good side?)
Varanasi to Kathmandu
Kathmandu to Pokhara
Pokhara to Jomsom
thanks again for everyone's help.

Delhi to varanasi - don't know
Varanasi to Kathmandu - probably left (coming in from the Middle East it's left)
Kathmandu to Pokhara - right
Pokhara to Jomsom - either but right is probably best - views of Annapurna's and Nilgiri that side

Varasi to KTM is also right... I think.
KTM to Pokhara, right, definitely, as Escher says.

Amazing pics Escher.

I think I have turned into a photo-bore (or whore). Any excuse to wheel out some more of my photos and I do it... Hmmm I think I should start another photo thread!

KTM to Delhi, the good side to see the mountains would be the left side, I think. Maybe you mean Delhi to KTM...

Anyway, I love the pics and especially the labels... Good stuff.

Varanasi to Kathmandu

Benares is a bit west of Kathmandu so if they fly straight to Kathmandu you would get the best views on the left side.

Were actually flying Varanasi to Kathmandu not from Delhi. Do love those photos though.

I think you have been too long down under Yakshaver, or maybe it is eating all that kangaroo that has messed you up ;-)

Try to remember; On the northern hemisphere, right hand is the one where the thumb points to the left!
