Which side of the plane to sit from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the winding Narmada and Godavari rivers, along with a clearer view of the lush Satpura range slopes and the sprawling northern expanse of Hyderabad during the final descent.
Narmada River
View the massive eastward flow of one of India's most sacred and longest rivers shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Satpura Range
Observe the rugged peaks and green valleys of the central Indian mountain belt that separates the Narmada and Tapti rivers.
Godavari Basin
Fly over the fertile plains and intricate agricultural patterns of the northern Maharashtra and Telangana border regions.
Hyderabad North
Catch the growing skyline and the dense urban development of Secunderabad and northern technology districts during the approach.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side offers the best views of the Godavari River and the hilly terrain of the Satpura Range. During the descent, the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road and northern residential hubs are highly visible.
Sabarmati View
A quick look at the developed riverfront area and the southern outskirts of Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff.
Tapti River
Spot the winding waterway near the industrial and agricultural hubs of southern Gujarat and northern Maharashtra.
Deccan Escarpments
View the unique geological formations and ancient volcanic rock structures of the vast Deccan Plateau.
Osman Sagar
A large, scenic reservoir located on the western outskirts of Hyderabad, visible during the final stages of landing.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Deccan landscape. Shortly after takeoff, look for the industrial corridors of southern Gujarat. During the final descent into HYD, look for the Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar lakes which provide a scenic contrast to the city landscape.
