Search flights from BOM to GWL
Sahyadri Ridges
Stunning vistas of the Western Ghats, featuring steep basalt cliffs and lush plateaus that define the Deccan edge.
Nashik & Godavari
The sacred city of Nashik and the winding path of the Godavari River as it begins its long journey across the subcontinent.
Vindhya Range
The ancient, weathered peaks of the Vindhyas, marking the traditional boundary between Northern and Southern India.
Gwalior Fort
The massive 8th-century sandstone fortress perched atop a hill, often visible during the final banking maneuvers for landing.
For the most dramatic experience, book a morning flight to see the Sahyadri mountains illuminated. Request a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Gwalior Fort, which usually appears on this side during a standard southern approach into GWL.

Mumbai Northern Coast
Glittering views of the Arabian Sea and the northern suburbs of the Mumbai metropolitan region during the initial climb.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A sprawling green oasis of tropical forest and the ancient Kanheri Caves visible just north of the city.
Narmada River Crossing
A wide view of one of India's major westward-flowing rivers as it cuts through the central plateau.
Chambal Badlands
The unique, maze-like erosion patterns of the Chambal ravines, which are most prominent about 15 minutes before landing.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. Pay close attention during the descent; the rugged badland topography of the Chambal region is a rare geographic treat that looks like a fractured desert from above.
