Mumbai Megacity
A dense aerial view of Mumbai's skyscrapers, the iconic slums, and the massive urban infrastructure.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
The rare sight of a massive forest situated directly within a metropolitan area, including Kanheri Caves.
Industrial Vapi and Valsad
The transition into Gujarat is marked by dense clusters of factories and industrial parks along the railway corridor.
Saurashtra Landscape
The distinct geometric patterns of the agricultural fields and the seasonal riverbeds of central Gujarat.
The right side is superior for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a clearer view of the Mumbai skyline immediately after takeoff from Runway 27. Look out for the Vaitarna River bridges as you cross into the Palghar district.

Arabian Sea Coastline
Continuous views of the sparkling Arabian Sea and the northern beaches of Mumbai like Juhu and Gorai.
Vasai Creek
The intricate network of mangroves and salt pans where the Ulhas River meets the sea.
Gulf of Khambhat
As the plane turns inland, witness the distant hazy horizon of the tidal gulf separating the mainland from the peninsula.
Sit on the left for sunset flights to catch the sun dipping into the Arabian Sea. During the monsoon, this side offers dramatic views of storm clouds building over the water. Watch for the cargo ships anchored near the Mumbai port during initial ascent.
