Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A rare glimpse of the dense green forest lung within Mumbai's city limits shortly after departure.
Aravalli Range
The ancient, weathered peaks of one of the world's oldest mountain ranges.
Dhauladhar Range
Spectacular views of the white-capped outer Himalayan peaks near the Himachal border.
Banihal Pass
The iconic mountain pass that serves as the gateway to the Kashmir Valley.
Greater Himalayas
Expansive views of the high altitude massifs, including Nanga Parbat on exceptionally clear days.
Jhelum River
The winding silver ribbon of the Jhelum meandering through the lush valley floor during final approach.
This is the premier side for mountain lovers. Book a morning flight (between 6 AM and 10 AM) for the clearest atmospheric conditions before clouds typically gather over the peaks. During winter, the entire landscape from Punjab onwards will be blanketed in white. Look for the transition from the flat plains to the dramatic vertical rise of the Himalayas about 30 minutes before landing.

Mumbai Coastline
Aerial views of the Arabian Sea and Mumbai's urban sprawl immediately after takeoff.
Thar Desert Edge
The arid plains and golden sands of eastern Rajasthan visible during mid-flight.
Sutlej River
The massive waterway carving through the fertile plains of Punjab.
Pir Panjal Peaks
Close-up views of the rugged, snow-dusted mountain ridges during the descent into Srinagar.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the Himalayan peaks on the horizon without glare. Keep an eye out for the Indus river system as you head north.
