Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Coimbatore International Airport (Coimbatore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is the clear winner for this route, offering a spectacular approach into Coimbatore with close-up views of the Nilgiri Hills and the lush Western Ghats mountain range.
Aravalli Range
The ancient fold mountains of Rajasthan are visible shortly after the flight reaches cruising altitude.
Narmada River
Cross over one of India's most significant westward-flowing rivers near the border of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Western Ghats Escarpment
Parallel views of the UNESCO-listed Sahyadri mountains stretching across the horizon for a significant portion of the flight.
The Nilgiris
The 'Blue Mountains' provide a stunning, verdant backdrop as the plane descends into the Coimbatore valley.
Deccan Farmlands
A geometric patchwork of vibrant agricultural fields across the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka.
This side is essential for the scenic descent. The Nilgiri Hills are most prominent 15-20 minutes before landing. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade down until the descent begins to see the mountains in soft light.
Delhi NCR Skyline
A sprawling aerial perspective of India's capital and its historical monuments immediately after departure.
Yamuna River Meanders
The winding path of the Yamuna river is often visible as the flight tracks south through the plains.
Vindhya Plateau
Rugged forest-covered hills marking the geographical transition into Central India.
Hyderabad Outskirts
The eastern side of the flight path often provides glimpses of the expanding urban sprawl of the Telangana capital.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The left side provides a broader view of the vast Indian heartland and major river systems like the Krishna basin.
