Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Aurangabad Airport (Aurangabad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the ancient Aravalli Range and the rugged Vindhya mountains, along with spectacular sunsets on evening flights.
Aravalli Range
The oldest fold mountains in India are visible shortly after crossing the Haryana-Rajasthan border.
Indore & Ujjain
Aerial perspectives of these major urban hubs in Madhya Pradesh as you traverse south.
Malwa Plateau
Expansive views of the fertile black soil plateau characterized by its undulating volcanic terrain.
Vindhya Range
Rugged escarpments and forested hills that traditionally mark the boundary between northern and southern India.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the golden hour over the Rajasthan border. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side offers dramatic views of cloud formations over the Western Ghats' northern extensions.
Yamuna River
Catch glimpses of the winding Yamuna river shortly after departing Delhi's airspace.
Gwalior Fort
On clear days, the massive sandstone plateau of Gwalior Fort can be spotted in the distance to the east.
Satpura Range
Aerial views of the parallel ridges and valleys of the Satpura mountain system during mid-flight.
Narmada River Crossing
A view of one of India's most sacred rivers as the flight enters central India.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the central Indian plains. Watch for the sharp transition from the flat Indo-Gangetic plains to the rugged Deccan plateau during the second half of the journey.
