Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged peaks of Mount Abu, the expansive desert fringes of Rajasthan, and a clear view of the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Thar Desert Edge

Striking views of the arid, golden-brown landscapes where the plains meet the fringes of the Great Indian Desert.

🏔️

Mount Abu Plateau

The highest peak in the Aravalli Range is often visible as a prominent, verdant granite massif rising from the plains.

🏙️

Ahmedabad & Sabarmati

Clear views of Gujarat's largest city and the distinctive Sabarmati Riverfront development during the descent phase.

🌅

Western Horizon

On evening flights, this side provides spectacular, unobstructed views of the sunset over the desert horizon.

🏗️

Industrial Hubs

Views of the massive manufacturing corridors and salt pans near the Rann of Kutch transition zone.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the desert sunset. Look for Mount Abu approximately 40 minutes into the flight; its height makes it a very recognizable landmark. Use a window seat behind the wing for the best photography of the Ahmedabad urban spread without engine heat distortion.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Gurugram Skyline

Aerial views of the massive skyscrapers and modern urban planning of Delhi's Millennium City shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Aravalli Ridges

The ancient, rolling hills of the Aravalli Range provide a textured landscape along the eastern flight corridor.

🏰

Udaipur Lake Region

Distant but sparkling views of the Mewar region's lake systems, including the famous Lake Pichola area.

🌊

Mahi River Basin

A wide, sweeping view of the Mahi River as the aircraft begins its final approach into the Gujarat plains.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the dry Rajasthani terrain to the greener agricultural belts of central Gujarat. This side is also excellent for viewing the intricate canal systems of the Narmada project.
