Western Ghats
A stunning view of the UNESCO World Heritage mountain range with steep escarpments and dense forests.
Koyna Reservoir
The massive Shivsagar Lake created by the Koyna Dam, surrounded by the rugged Sahyadri mountains.
Navi Mumbai & Thane Creek
During the descent, observe the planned city of Navi Mumbai and the flamingos often found in the creek.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
The rare sight of a massive green lung situated right in the middle of a dense urban metropolis.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side as the sun illuminates the Western Ghats. During the monsoon season (June–September), look for hundreds of seasonal waterfalls cascading down the green mountain ridges. This side provides a more diverse geographic landscape throughout the flight duration.
