Search flights from DEL to HYD
Gurgaon Skyline
Excellent views of the high-rise clusters and corporate hubs of the Millennium City shortly after departing DEL.
Vindhya & Satpura Ranges
The flight crosses these ancient mountain ranges, offering a look at the forested ridges of Central India.
Narmada River
A prominent view of one of India's major west-flowing rivers cutting through the rocky terrain of Madhya Pradesh.
Deccan Traps
Witness the unique step-like topography of the basaltic Deccan Plateau as you approach the Hyderabad region.
HYD Approach
Aerial views of the Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar reservoirs located on the outskirts of Hyderabad during descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Deccan landscape. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the Narmada River. During the monsoon (July-September), the transition from the dry plains to the vibrant green plateaus of central India is particularly striking.

Delhi Cityscape
A sprawling view of the national capital's dense urban layout and historical monuments during initial ascent.
Yamuna River
The winding path of the Yamuna is visible shortly after takeoff, snaking through the plains towards Agra.
Gwalior Fort
Depending on the specific corridor, the massive sandstone plateau of Gwalior Fort can be spotted in Madhya Pradesh.
Godavari River
A major crossing over the 'Dakshina Ganga' as the flight enters the northern part of Telangana.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. If the flight path tracks slightly east, you may catch a distant glimpse of the Taj Mahal near Agra, though this requires clear visibility and a specific air corridor. Watch for the lush greenery of the Pench National Park region mid-flight.
