Search flights from BHO to DEL
Gwalior Fort
Visible mid-flight, this massive 8th-century hilltop fortress stands out prominently against the city landscape.
Chambal Ravines
View the intricate, maze-like network of eroded gullies and deep ridges near the border of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
Aravalli Range Fringes
As you approach the National Capital Region, look for the ancient, weathered ridges of the Aravalli hills.
Mathura & Vrindavan
On the descent, you may spot the dense temple clusters and the winding streets of these historic holy cities.
For morning flights, the left side is ideal as it faces away from the direct sun, providing better visibility and photo opportunities. During the winter months (December–January), book an afternoon flight to ensure the morning fog over the North Indian plains has cleared for better views of the Chambal terrain.

Upper Lake (Bhojtal)
Immediately after takeoff from BHO, enjoy a panoramic view of Bhopal's massive man-made lake.
Madhav National Park
Spot the dense forest patches and lakes near Shivpuri as the flight heads north-northwest.
Yamuna River
The flight path often parallels the Yamuna, showing its wide, meandering course as it flows toward the capital.
Delhi-NCR Skyline
Get a bird's-eye view of the massive urban sprawl, specifically the high-rises of Noida and Faridabad during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for seeing the transition from the Malwa Plateau to the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains. On evening flights, this side catches the soft 'blue hour' light over the Yamuna River, but be aware of potential glare during morning departures. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Bhopal for the lake view.
