Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Jodhpur Airport (Jodhpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic views of Jodhpur's historic landmarks, including the Mehrangarh Fort and the transition into the arid Thar Desert.
Gurugram Skyline
A stunning view of the Cyber City high-rises and urban sprawl shortly after the initial climb.
Thar Desert Frontier
Observation of the landscape shifting from fertile plains to the sandy, scrub-filled terrain of the desert.
Mehrangarh Fort
The massive 15th-century fortress perched on a perpendicular cliff is best seen from this side during the descent.
The Blue City
The iconic indigo-painted houses of Jodhpur's old city provide a vibrant splash of color against the desert sands.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing the 'Blue City' and Mehrangarh Fort. Ensure you are seated ahead of or behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the fort. During winter months, the visibility is often best on mid-morning flights after the early haze has cleared.
Southwest Delhi
An aerial perspective of Dwarka's residential planning and the expansive Indira Gandhi International Airport complex.
Aravalli Ridges
Visible segments of the ancient Aravalli Range, showcasing rugged geological formations across the state border.
Haryanevi Plains
A bird's eye view of the organized agricultural clusters and seasonal crops between Delhi and Rewari.
Umaid Bhawan Palace
One of the world's largest private residences, its yellow sandstone glow is prominent on the left during the final approach.
Opt for the left side on early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for spotting the grand Umaid Bhawan Palace just minutes before touchdown. Keep an eye out for the distinct circular water reservoirs typical of the Rajasthan countryside.
