BOM → BHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Raja Bhoj International Airport (Bhopal)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is preferred for its panoramic departure views of the Mumbai coastline and the scenic approach over Bhopal's expansive Upper Lake.
Mumbai Coastline
Striking views of the Arabian Sea and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link during the initial climb out of BOM.
Sahyadri Range
The rugged peaks and deep valleys of the northern Western Ghats as the flight heads northeast.
Bhojtal (Upper Lake)
The massive man-made lake that dominates the Bhopal landscape, offering a serene view during the descent.
Bhopal Old City
A dense urban tapestry featuring historic mosques and busy markets visible just before touchdown.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Western Ghats. On morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the landscape and the Bhopal lakes.
Thane Creek
Aerial perspective of the vast mangrove forests and the bridges connecting Mumbai to the mainland.
Godavari River
Aerial sightings of the winding river near the holy city of Nashik during the mid-flight cruise.
Deccan Trap Formations
Observe the distinct basaltic step-like rock formations characteristic of the ancient volcanic plateau.
Malwa Plateau
The transition into the fertile, multi-colored agricultural patchwork of the Central Indian plains.
The right side offers excellent sunrise views on early morning departures. During the monsoon season (June–September), watch for the dramatic waterfalls forming along the escarpments of the Deccan plateau. Ensure your window is clean as condensation can be high in this humid corridor.
