A vast expanse of water where the Tapti and Narmada rivers meet the Arabian Sea, featuring shifting silt patterns.

Rann of Kutch Salt Pans
Dramatic white patches and organized salt harvesting rectangles as you approach the Kutch region.
Kutch Desert Edge

Choose the left side (A seats) for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides superior views of the coastline and the intricate patterns of the salt marshes. During the monsoon (June-September), look for the dramatic transition of the salt flats into shallow lagoons. For evening flights, you may catch a sunset over the Arabian Sea.

Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A rare green lung within Mumbai's urban sprawl, visible shortly after takeoff from BOM.
Surat Industrial Zone
Massive industrial complexes and the winding Tapi River as you pass over the diamond city.

Kandla Port
Heavy maritime traffic and the massive infrastructure of one of India's major cargo hubs.
Little Rann of Kutch
Views of the wildlife sanctuary area, known for the Indian Wild Ass, appearing as a vast, barren plain.
The right side (F seats) is ideal for spotting urban centers like Surat and the heavy industrial development along the Gujarat corridor. On a clear day, the contrast between the fertile plains of southern Gujarat and the arid northern Kutch region is very distinct. If flying in the late afternoon, the lighting on the inland terrain creates beautiful long shadows across the rugged hills near Bhuj.
