Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more diverse geographic display, including the ancient Aravalli Range shortly after takeoff and the rugged terrain of the Vindhya and Satpura ranges in Central India. It is also the superior side for sunset views on the frequent evening departures between these two major hubs.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Aravalli Range

Catch glimpses of one of the world's oldest fold mountain ranges stretching across Rajasthan shortly after leaving Delhi airspace.

๐ŸŒ„

Vindhya & Satpura Ranges

Observe the dramatic ridges and forested slopes of these central Indian mountain chains that divide the northern plains from the Deccan.

๐ŸŒŠ

Narmada River

Cross the mighty Narmada River, one of India's major westward-flowing rivers, often visible with its large hydroelectric reservoirs.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Deccan Traps

Fly over the vast volcanic basalt formations of the Deccan Plateau, characterized by flat-topped hills and stepped landscapes.

The right side is highly recommended for evening flights to capture the sunset over the western horizon. For the best views of the Aravalli hills near Delhi, look out within the first 15-20 minutes. Seat selection behind the wing is ideal to ensure the engine does not obstruct your view of the changing terrain from fertile plains to rocky plateaus.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Yamuna River Meanders

Shortly after takeoff from Delhi, watch the winding path of the Yamuna as it flows through the Indo-Gangetic plain.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Chambal Ravines

View the unique, highly eroded badlands of the Chambal Valley, famous for its deep ravines and rugged topography.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Hyderabad Skyline

On the descent, the eastern outskirts of Hyderabad and the massive Outer Ring Road are often visible during the cruise phase.

๐Ÿ’ง

Krishna River Basin

Cross over the expansive Krishna River and its tributaries, which mark the transition into the southern Deccan plateau.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Gangetic plains. During monsoon season (Juneโ€“September), this side offers dramatic views of cloud formations rising from the Bay of Bengal influence. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Gwalior and its hilltop fort about 30 minutes into the flight.
