Which side of the plane to sit from Coimbatore International Airport (Coimbatore) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Nilgiri Hills immediately after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the Gurgaon skyline on the final approach into Delhi.
Nilgiri Mountains
Breathtaking views of the lush 'Blue Mountains' and the Western Ghats shortly after departing Coimbatore.
Godavari River
Aerial view of one of India's longest rivers as it snakes through the Deccan Plateau.
Satpura Range
Rugged, forested mountain ridges visible as you fly over central Madhya Pradesh.
Gurgaon Skyline
Dramatic views of the high-rise glass towers of Millennium City during the descent into Delhi.
On evening flights, the left side is treated to a stunning sunset over the central Indian plains. Be ready with your camera within the first 10 minutes of takeoff to capture the Nilgiri peaks before the plane reaches higher altitudes.
Deccan Plateau
Expansive views of the unique volcanic landscape and seasonal agricultural mosaics of the Indian interior.
Narmada River
A clear view of this major west-flowing river as it cuts through the heart of the subcontinent.
Gwalior Region
Spot the distinctive rocky outcrops and historical topography around the ancient city of Gwalior.
Yamuna River
Catch sight of the meandering Yamuna River as it flows through the eastern edge of the capital region.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight. During the monsoon season (JuneโSeptember), this side offers impressive views of cloud formations and the verdant greening of the dry central plains.
