Which side of the plane to sit from Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (Amritsar) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual transition from the golden dunes of the Thar Desert to the expansive blue of the Arabian Sea during the final approach into Mumbai.
Thar Desert
Vast, arid stretches of golden sand and desert vegetation across central Rajasthan.
Rann of Kutch Edge
The white, salt-crusted horizons of the Rann are often visible on the distant western horizon.
Gulf of Khambhat
The dramatic meeting point of the Sabarmati and Mahi rivers with the Arabian Sea.
Surat Coastal Belt
Heavy industrial landscapes and busy shipping ports along the Gujarat coastline.
Mumbai Coastline
Spectacular views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the city's iconic 'Queen's Necklace' shoreline during approach.
Opt for the right side for evening flights to catch a sunset over the Arabian Sea. This side offers the best views of the Mumbai skyline and the sea-bridge if the aircraft approaches from the north. In monsoon, the cloud formations over the coast are particularly dramatic.
Punjab Urban Hubs
Early views of the industrial and residential layouts of Ludhiana and the outskirts of Chandigarh.
Aravalli Range
Aerial perspective of one of the world's oldest fold mountain systems running through Rajasthan.
Historic Jaipur
Clear views of the 'Pink City' and the surrounding hill forts like Amer and Nahargarh.
Udaipur Lakes
Glimpses of the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola and the white marble architecture of the Lake Palace.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A vast green lung visible just before landing, contrasting sharply with the dense Mumbai urban sprawl.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the rugged Aravalli topography. During descent, look out for the Tansa and Vaitarna reservoirs that supply water to Mumbai.
