Mumbai Suburbs
Aerial perspective of Mumbai's northern suburbs and the sprawling Sanjay Gandhi National Park immediately after takeoff.
Western Ghats
Lush green ridges and deep valleys of the Sahyadri range, particularly stunning during or after the monsoon season.
Prayagraj Sangam
The sacred confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, clearly visible as a distinct merge of differently colored waters.
Varanasi Ghats
A view of one of the world's oldest living cities, identifiable by the dense clusters of buildings along the crescent-shaped Ganges.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
An endless patchwork of fertile green and yellow agricultural fields typical of the North Indian heartland.
For the best clarity of the Ganges and its holy cities, choose a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze. The Prayagraj Sangam usually appears about 70 to 80 minutes after takeoff from Mumbai. Keep your camera ready as you approach the descent phase into Patna, as the river meanders are highly photogenic.

Thane Creek
Industrial landscapes and the intricate waterways of the creek separating Mumbai from the mainland.
Vindhya Range
The rugged, ancient plateau terrain of central India featuring weathered hills and sparse forests.
Son River
A massive southern tributary of the Ganges, known for its wide sandy banks and significant bridges during the final approach.
Bihar Countryside
Detailed views of rural villages and traditional farming layouts as the aircraft descends towards Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Airport.
If flying in the late afternoon, the right side provides a beautiful warm glow over the landscape, though you may face direct sun glare. Watch for the massive railway and road bridges spanning the Son River just before the final turn for landing at Patna. This side is often better for seeing the rural outskirts of Patna during the landing pattern.
