Aravalli Range
Bird's eye view of one of the world's oldest fold mountain ranges spanning Rajasthan and Haryana.
Delhi/NCR Distant View
On many flight paths, the sprawling urban expanse of the capital region is visible to the east.
Himalayan Panoramas
Stunning vistas of the snow-laden peaks of the Shivalik and Pir Panjal ranges during the descent into Jammu.
Tawi River
Aerial perspective of the Tawi River winding through the foothills as the aircraft aligns for the runway.
A morning flight is ideal to capture the sun illuminating the Himalayan peaks. Seat yourself away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains during the descent. In winter, the snow cover on the right side is particularly spectacular.

Mumbai Coastline
Direct views of the Arabian Sea and the Western Mumbai suburbs immediately after takeoff from BOM.
Thar Desert Fringe
Observation of the arid, golden landscapes bordering the Rann of Kutch and Rajasthan as the flight heads north.
Punjab Plains
Vast agricultural patchworks and the intricate canal systems of the northern Indian plains.
Opt for an afternoon flight to see the desert colors shift; however, avoid the direct glare of the setting sun on this side if flying late in the day. The left side provides a clearer view of the international border landscape with Pakistan during the northern leg.
