Search flights from DEL to COK
Aravalli Hills
The world's oldest fold mountains appear as rocky ridges shortly after leaving the Delhi airspace.
Arabian Sea
Vast blue vistas as the flight path aligns with the western coastline of the Indian peninsula.
Sahyadri Peaks
The steep, emerald-green cliffs of the Western Ghats are visible during the cruise over Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Kerala Backwaters
The iconic network of lagoons, palm-fringed islands, and the Vembanad Lake system on final approach.
Opt for an afternoon flight to witness the golden hour over the Arabian Sea. During the final 30 minutes, the plane descends over the lush Western Ghats and provides a panoramic view of the Kochi coastline. Avoid seats directly over the wing for unobstructed views of the backwaters.

Delhi NCR
Vast urban sprawl and the Yamuna river visible immediately after takeoff from Indira Gandhi International.
Satpura Range
Rugged forest-covered mountains and plateaus in central India provide a textured landscape.
Godavari Basin
Wide river bends and the intricate agricultural patterns of the central Deccan Plateau.
Best for morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Deccan Plateau. Look for the massive river basins of central India. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side offers views of massive thunderheads building over the plains.
