Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Jabalpur Airport (Jabalpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a direct view of the majestic Gwalior Fort and the spectacular, maze-like Chambal ravines which are highlights of this route.
Gwalior Fort
The 'Gibraltar of India' is clearly visible on its massive sandstone plateau about 30 minutes into the flight.
Chambal Ravines
A stunning aerial view of the labyrinthine badlands and gullies formed by the Chambal River.
Vindhya Range
Rugged ridges and rocky outcrops of the ancient Vindhya mountain system as you enter Central India.
Narmada River
The holy Narmada river carving through the landscape, indicating your proximity to the Marble Rocks.
Jabalpur Cityscape
A full view of Jabalpur's urban sprawl and its surrounding rocky hillocks just before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun highlights the textures of the Chambal ravines. Sit ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of Gwalior Fort, which is the architectural highlight of the trip. During winter, the air is clearer, making the sandstone colors of the Vindhyas pop.
Yamuna Meanders
View the serpentine curves of the Yamuna river as the flight departs the National Capital Region.
Jhansi Heritage
The historic city of Jhansi and its iconic fort can be spotted in the Bundelkhand plains.
Panna Forest Edge
Glimpses of the dense deciduous forests of the Panna region near the border of UP and MP.
Bargi Reservoir
The massive blue expanse of the Bargi Dam on the Narmada River visible during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. This side is better for spotting the expansive water bodies and the historical layout of the Bundelkhand region.
