Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the unique geological features of the Rajasthan desert, including the stunning white expanse of Sambhar Salt Lake and the rugged western ridges of the Aravalli Range.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Aravalli Ridge

Spectacular views of one of the world's oldest fold mountain ranges, characterized by its unique parallel ridges.

🧂

Sambhar Salt Lake

India's largest inland salt lake, appearing as a massive shimmering white or pinkish-grey expanse in the desert.

🕌

Ajmer & Pushkar

Distant views of the holy cities nestled between the mountains, often visible if the flight path stays slightly west.

🏜️

Thar Edge

Observe the transition from the green outskirts of Delhi to the arid, golden-brown landscapes of the Rajasthan desert.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the desert. Ensure your window is clean for capturing the Sambhar Salt Lake, as the light reflects intensely off the salt crust. Look out for the numerous marble quarries that dot the landscape near Kishangarh.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

South Delhi Skyline

Detailed views of the Qutub Minar area and the dense urban sprawl of South Delhi during the initial climb.

🏢

Cyber City Gurugram

A bird's-eye view of the modern glass skyscrapers and the massive DLF Phase 3 complexes.

🏰

Pink City Jaipur

As the plane turns south-west, witness the sprawling pink-hued architecture of Jaipur and the Amer Fort region.

🌊

Sabarmati River

During the final descent into Ahmedabad, the plane often follows the winding course of the Sabarmati riverfront.

Choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. On morning flights, the left side benefits from the sun being behind you, providing better lighting for photography of the Jaipur city sprawl. Keep a lookout for the Banas River crossing halfway through the flight.
