Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Maharana Pratap Airport (Udaipur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an iconic perspective of the Mumbai coastline during departure and offers the most scenic views of Udaipur's famous lake systems and the City Palace during the final approach.
Mumbai Northern Suburbs
Aerial views of the dense urban landscape of Borivali and the sprawling Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
Vasai Creek
The winding estuarine waters that mark the northern boundary of the Mumbai metropolitan region.
Udaipur City Palace
On the final approach, look for the massive granite and marble palace complex perched above Lake Pichola.
Lake Pichola
The shimmering center of the 'City of Lakes', often featuring the Taj Lake Palace island from above.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best chance to see the historic architecture of Udaipur. Morning flights (7 AM - 10 AM) are preferred to avoid glare, as the sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the lakes clearly. Avoid seats directly over the wing for unobstructed views of the landing.
Sahyadri Foothills
The northernmost ridges of the Western Ghats range visible shortly after the aircraft reaches cruise altitude.
Tansa & Vaitarna Lakes
Vast reservoirs that supply Mumbai's water, surrounded by lush green catchment areas.
Mahi River Basin
Crossing the wide river valley as the flight transitions from the plains of Gujarat into Rajasthan.
Aravalli Range
The rugged, ancient mountain ridges of southern Rajasthan that characterize the landscape near Udaipur.
The right side is excellent for observing the transitioning topography from coastal plains to the Aravalli hills. If flying in the late afternoon, the 'Golden Hour' provides spectacular lighting on the mountain ridges. This side is typically quieter for those wishing to avoid the sun's direct heat during morning departures.
