Aravalli Range
Witness the rugged, ancient mountain ridges that define the geography of Rajasthan from a unique aerial perspective.
Sambhar Salt Lake
The highlight of the trip, this vast inland salt lake appears as a brilliant white or pale pink basin shortly before landing.
Semi-Arid Transition
Observe the ecological shift from the fertile Sabarmati plains of Gujarat to the dry desert fringes of Rajasthan.
Mount Abu Distance
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Mount Abu plateau can be spotted to the far west during the early cruise phase.
For the most iconic view of the Sambhar Salt Lake, choose a window seat on the left. In the morning, this side stays shaded from the direct sun, making photography much easier. Look out for the salt pans approximately 15 minutes before landing. Avoid seats directly over the wing for an unobstructed view of the terrain.

Sabarmati Riverfront
Excellent views of Ahmedabad's developed riverfront and the dense urban skyline immediately after takeoff from AMD.
Jaipur Forts
Catch glimpses of the historic Nahargarh and Jaigarh forts perched on the hills as the plane aligns for the Jaipur runway.
Agricultural Patchwork
Beautiful views of rural Rajasthani landscapes, featuring intricate geometric field patterns that turn vibrant yellow during winter mustard season.
Pink City Grid
The organized historical layout of the Old City and its distinct terracotta-colored roofs are visible during final banking maneuvers.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the setting sun illuminates the Jaipur city sprawl and the golden-brown hills of the Aravallis. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for urban views. During the monsoon, this side often offers views of dramatic cloud formations over the central Indian plains.
