Himalayan Horizon
On clear post-monsoon or winter days, the snow-capped peaks of Nepal and Uttarakhand are visible in the far distance.
Ganges River System
Stunning views of the meandering Ganges and its wide floodplains as the flight parallels the river.
Lucknow Cityscape
A clear view of the capital of Uttar Pradesh, including its distinct administrative buildings and the Gomti river.
Historic Delhi
Depending on the landing pattern, views of the Yamuna river and the historic monuments of Old Delhi are often visible.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
A vast tapestry of agricultural fields that change colors dramatically between the harvest and sowing seasons.
Book an early morning flight (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) for the best visibility of the Himalayas before the afternoon haze sets in. Seat K is usually the most sought-after for this route. During winter, be prepared for heavy morning fog which might obscure all ground views.

Kolkata Urban Sprawl
Dense urban views of the North 24 Parganas and the Hooghly river banks immediately after takeoff.
Industrial Heartland
Aerial views of the Durgapur and Asansol industrial belts, including steel plants and coal mines.
Chota Nagpur Plateau
The northern edge of the rugged plateau and seasonal forests of Jharkhand and Bihar.
Gurgaon High-rises
Views of the modern skyscrapers and corporate hubs of the NCR region during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you are flying during a summer afternoon to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is also better for spotting the dense urban development and the Aravalli hills as you enter the Delhi region from the south.
