DEL → BHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Raja Bhoj International Airport (Bhopal)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally preferred for this short hop as it offers the best opportunity to spot the Yamuna River and the iconic landmarks of Agra, including a distant view of the Taj Mahal, followed by the historic Gwalior Fort.

Delhi Metropolis
Aerial views of the sprawling National Capital Region and the winding Yamuna River shortly after takeoff.
Agra & Taj Mahal
On clear days, the white marble of the Taj Mahal is visible as a tiny jewel near the banks of the Yamuna.
Gwalior Fort
The massive sandstone hill fort of Gwalior appears as a distinct plateau rising from the surrounding plains.
Betwa River
The sparkling waters of the Betwa River meander through the landscape as you enter Madhya Pradesh.
Sit on the left side (Seat A) and look out approximately 20 minutes after departure to spot Agra. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the afternoon haze that often obscures the Taj Mahal. Ensure your window is clean, as the features are distant and require a clear view for spotting.

Gurugram Skyline
The modern glass-and-steel skyscrapers of Cyber Hub and the surrounding financial district during climb-out.
Chambal Ravines
The unique and dramatic 'Badlands' topography created by centuries of soil erosion in the Chambal Valley.
Vindhya Range
The rugged, forested ridges of the Vindhya mountains as the aircraft begins its descent into Bhopal.
Upper Lake (Bhojtal)
The massive expanse of Bhopal's largest lake provides a stunning backdrop during the final approach.
The right side (Seat F) offers the best view of the approach into Bhopal. As the plane descends, you will likely fly over or alongside the Upper Lake, which is the city's most defining geographic feature. This side is also better for observing the distinct geological formations of the Chambal region mid-flight.
