Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (Indore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the modern Gurugram skyline during departure and the ancient Aravalli mountain ridges throughout the cruise phase.
Gurugram Skyscrapers
Immediately after takeoff from DEL, the high-rises of the Millennium City are clearly visible.
Aravalli Range
Views of one of the world's oldest fold mountain systems with its distinct parallel ridges.
Alwar & Rajasthan Border
Arid landscapes dotted with historic forts and the hilly terrain of the Sariska region.
Malwa Plateau
A beautiful geometric patchwork of agricultural fields as the aircraft approaches Indore.
The right side is unbeatable for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Aravalli hills. For the best views of Gurugram's urban architecture, a window seat behind the wing is recommended to avoid obstruction. This side generally experiences less haze during the winter months.
South Delhi Sprawl
A dense aerial view of the capital's residential colonies and green belts like the Ridge.
Yamuna River
The meandering path of the river as it flows south toward the plains of Uttar Pradesh.
Chambal Ravines
Dramatic, labyrinth-like erosion patterns in the earth near the border of Rajasthan and MP.
Ujjain Cityscape
Visible during descent, look for the holy city and the banks of the Shipra River.
Select the left side for early morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. It is also the better side for spotting the jagged badlands of the Chambal region. During the monsoon, this side showcases the lush green transition of the Madhya Pradesh plains.
