The left side provides the most iconic views of the flight, specifically the Taj Mahal and the winding Yamuna River as you approach Agra.
Search flights from DEL to AGR
Yamuna River
Follow the serpentine path of the holy Yamuna as it flows south from Delhi toward the heart of Agra.
Lotus Temple
Shortly after takeoff from DEL, look for the striking white marble petals of this architectural marvel in South Delhi.
Vrindavan Temples
Spot the dense cluster of temples and the massive Chandrodaya Mandir skyscraper temple under construction in the holy city of Vrindavan.
The Taj Mahal
The crown jewel of the trip usually appears on the left side during the descent into Agra Airport (Kheria).
Agra Fort
View the massive red sandstone walls of the historic Mughal residence situated just upriver from the Taj Mahal.
For the best experience, choose a seat toward the front or rear of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. The Taj Mahal is best viewed during morning flights when the sun illuminates the white marble from the east. In winter months (December–January), be prepared for heavy morning smog or fog which can significantly reduce visibility; late afternoon flights may offer better clarity during this season.

Qutub Minar
Depending on the departure runway at DEL, you may catch a glimpse of this ancient 73-meter tall brick minaret.
Yamuna Expressway
A bird's-eye view of India's high-speed corridor cutting a straight line through the Uttar Pradesh countryside.
UP Agricultural Plains
The landscape transforms into a vast patchwork of mustard and wheat fields, especially vibrant during the spring.
Sur Sarovar Sanctuary
Look for the blue waters of Keetham Lake, a significant bird sanctuary located just north of Agra city.
While the right side misses the Taj Mahal on the standard approach, it offers a wider perspective of the rural expansion of Uttar Pradesh. If the aircraft performs a 180-degree turn for a westerly landing, the Taj Mahal may briefly become visible, but the left side remains the safer bet for sightseeing.
