Search flights from DEL to ATQ
Shivalik Range
The majestic foothills of the Himalayas visible on the horizon, especially breathtaking during clear morning flights.
Kurukshetra Plains
The historical region of Haryana, known for its deep cultural and spiritual significance, visible shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Satluj River Crossing
A major crossing of the Satluj River, one of the five major rivers that give Punjab its name.
Amritsar Outskirts
A broad view of the holy city and its surrounding villages during the northern approach to the airport.
For the best chance to see the Himalayas, book a morning flight when the air is clearest. In winter (November to February), the snow-capped peaks are more prominent, though smog can be a factor. A window seat ahead of the wing is recommended to ensure the engine doesn't block the horizon line where the mountains meet the sky.

Delhi Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the dense residential sectors of Dwarka and Rohini immediately after takeoff.
Punjab Heartland
A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields that change colors from vibrant green to golden yellow seasonally.
Ludhiana Skyline
The industrial landscape of Punjab's largest city, visible as a sprawling urban center mid-flight.
Beas River Meanders
The winding curves of the Beas River as the flight begins its final descent into Amritsar.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct sun. This side is excellent for observing the intricate irrigation canal systems that define the region's agriculture. During winter mornings, be prepared for heavy fog which often obscures the ground completely.
