Thane Creek
A vast inlet of the Arabian Sea, often visible with patches of mangroves and the Vashi bridges.
Malshej Ghat
A breathtaking mountain pass in the Sahyadris known for its deep valleys and towering rock faces.
Godavari Basin
Expansive fertile plains around the Nashik region, showcasing diverse crop patterns.
Narmada River
The majestic crossing of the Narmada River near Maheshwar, a highlight of the descent into Indore.
Vindhya Range
The ancient hills that rise sharply to meet the Malwa plateau as the plane prepares for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography. The highlight of this route is the Narmada River crossing about 15-20 minutes before landing; look for the wide, shimmering waters. For the best view of the Malshej Ghat region, look out roughly 10 minutes after takeoff.
