Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic features, including the highest peaks of the Sahyadri range and a direct view of the Narmada River and Marble Rocks during the approach into Jabalpur.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Sahyadri Mountains

Breathtaking views of the Western Ghats peaks, including Kalsubai, shortly after departing Mumbai.

💧

Upper Vaitarna Reservoir

A massive blue expanse surrounded by lush hills in the Nashik region.

🌊

Tapi River Meanders

The silver ribbon of the Tapi River as it winds through the northern Maharashtra plains.

🐯

Satpura Range

Dense forest canopies and steep ridges of the central Indian highlands.

🪨

Marble Rocks

The iconic white limestone cliffs of Bhedaghat visible as the plane descends towards Jabalpur.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine obstruction. For afternoon flights, this side avoids the harshest glare. Look out for the Dhuandhar Falls area about 10 minutes before touchdown. Post-monsoon (September to November) offers the most vibrant green landscapes.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Mumbai Skyline

Extensive views of Thane Creek and the suburban sprawl of Navi Mumbai during takeoff.

🧱

Deccan Plateau

Unique geological formations of the volcanic basalt plains stretching across the horizon.

🌾

Godavari Basin

A vast patchwork of agricultural fields marking the heart of India's farming belt.

🐆

Melghat Forest

The rugged southern slopes and ravines of the Satpura tiger reserve region.

🚢

Bargi Dam

A sprawling reservoir on the Narmada River that signals the final approach to the airport.

Best for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the plateau. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight to capture the massive Bargi Dam reservoir. This side is typically brighter, so sunglasses are recommended for morning travel.
