Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a consistent view of the Western Ghats' dramatic escarpments and the complex river networks of the Konkan region.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Navi Mumbai Skyline

Dense urban clusters and the expanding infrastructure of Mumbai's eastern suburbs.

⛰️

Sahyadri Mountains

The UNESCO-listed Western Ghats featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys running parallel to the coast.

🌊

Ulhas River Estuary

Intricate water channels and delta formations where the river meets the creek near Mumbai.

🌳

Raigad Mangroves

Vast green belts of coastal vegetation and historic salt pans stretching across the Raigad district.

🏰

Hill Forts

Occasional sightings of historic Maratha fortifications perched on high Sahyadri peaks.

Book a window seat in the forward or rear sections to avoid the wing obstructing the mountain views. Early morning flights are best as the rising sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Ghats. During the post-monsoon season (September to November), the landscape is incredibly lush and green with several visible waterfalls.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Konkan Coastline

A continuous string of scenic beaches and small coastal villages along the Arabian Sea.

⛵

Arabian Sea

Vast blue horizons often dotted with fishing trawlers and cargo ships heading to Mumbai port.

🌆

Queen's Necklace

Iconic view of Marine Drive and South Mumbai if the flight path takes a wide turn over the ocean.

🌴

Alibaug Beaches

Popular tourist beaches like Varsoli and Nagaon visible shortly after takeoff.

🌅

Golden Hour Views

Spectacular reflections on the water during late afternoon and evening flights.

Select the right side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the sea. During the descent into Dabolim Airport, this side often provides a great perspective of the Goan shoreline. Be aware that sea haze during mid-day in summer can sometimes reduce visibility of the distant coastline.
