Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Shivalik range and higher Himalayas are visible to the north.
Ghaziabad & Meerut
Bird's-eye view of the rapidly expanding industrial and residential hubs of the National Capital Region.
Upper Ganges Canal
The intricate network of the historic irrigation system cutting through the green agricultural landscape.
Terai Landscape
Lush green patches and forest fragments as the flight approaches the more humid plains of eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Opt for the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the post-monsoon season (September-October), the air is clearest, offering the best chance to see the distant Himalayan peaks. Keep an eye out for the transition from the dry Aravalli fringe to the wet plains.

Delhi Terminal 3
Excellent views of the sprawling Indira Gandhi International Airport complex during takeoff.
Yamuna Meanders
The winding curves of the Yamuna River as it flows south towards the Taj Mahal's vicinity.
Rural Mosaic
A beautiful patchwork of small farming plots and traditional North Indian villages across the Gangetic plain.
Ganges Crossing
A panoramic view of the holy Ganges River as the aircraft crosses into central Uttar Pradesh.
The right side is excellent for photography of the river systems during the golden hour (sunset). If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for some sun glare. This side provides a better perspective of the dense urban layout of Noida and Greater Noida shortly after departure.
