Mumbai Shoreline
Bird's-eye view of the Arabian Sea coastline and the dense urban landscape of North Mumbai shortly after takeoff.
Western Ghats
Lush green mountain ranges and reservoirs visible as the aircraft climbs to cruising altitude.
Narmada River
A view of the wide Narmada river snaking through the central Indian states of Madhya Pradesh.
Mt. Kanchenjunga
The world's third-highest peak dominates the horizon on the left side during the descent into the Siliguri corridor.
Eastern Himalayan Range
Stunning snow-capped vistas of the Sikkim and Bhutan Himalayan ranges visible for the final 30 minutes of the flight.
Book an early morning flight (departure between 6 AM and 9 AM) for the highest chance of cloud-free mountain views. During the monsoon (June-September), visibility is often poor, so aim for October to March for the most spectacular Himalayan panoramas. Ensure your window is clear of scratches and avoid seats over the wing to get the best angle of the peaks.

Industrial Navi Mumbai
Views of the industrial hubs and the shifting landscape of the mainland east of Mumbai.
Ganges River
As the flight crosses Bihar, you can see the massive span of the Ganga river and its fertile floodplains.
Bengal Plains
Verdant agricultural landscapes and a patchwork of paddy fields characteristic of North Bengal.
Tea Gardens
The iconic tea estates of the Dooars region become visible just before touchdown at Bagdogra.
While the right side misses the high peaks, it offers a great view of the river systems and the lush green plains of West Bengal. It is also the better side for photography if you want to avoid the direct glare of the sun during morning flights as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft.
