AMDDEL

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the ancient Aravalli Range and a more scenic approach into the sprawling National Capital Region, often including the Yamuna River.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Aravalli Range

Dramatic views of one of the world's oldest fold mountain systems running parallel to the flight path.

🏰

Jaipur Outskirts

Spot the outskirts of the Pink City and the rugged forts protecting the mountain passes of Rajasthan.

🌆

Delhi NCR Urban Sprawl

Massive scale of the capital's urbanization, featuring high-rise clusters in Gurugram and Dwarka during descent.

🌊

Yamuna River

The winding path of the Yamuna River provides a distinct landmark as the aircraft aligns for final approach into DEL.

This is the preferred side for evening flights to see the shimmering lights of Delhi and Gurugram. Winter morning flights might experience heavy fog, so mid-day or clear night flights are recommended for the best mountain and city views. Look out for the distinct change from the dry Rajasthani landscape to the greener plains of Haryana.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏞️

Sabarmati Riverfront

Aerial view of Ahmedabad's iconic urban riverfront development shortly after departure from AMD.

🌵

Thar Desert Horizons

The landscape transitions into the arid, sandy plains of western Rajasthan with distant desert vistas.

🧂

Sambhar Salt Lake

On clearer days or slightly western flight paths, the vast white expanse of India's largest inland salt lake is visible.

Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun glare. The terrain is flatter here, making it ideal for spotting localized dust storms during the pre-monsoon summer months.
