Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Ludhiana Airport (Ludhiaha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior perspectives of the Shivalik Himalayan foothills in the distance and key historical cities along the Grand Trunk Road corridor.
Shivalik Hills
On clear days, especially after rain, the distant outline of the lower Himalayan ranges is visible to the North-East.
Panipat Industrial Hub
View the historical city of Panipat, recognizable by its large industrial refineries and dense urban core.
Sacred Kurukshetra
Spot the historical region associated with the Mahabharata, characterized by large water tanks and temple complexes.
Ambala Air Base
The flight path often passes near the strategic Ambala Cantonment and its significant military airfield.
Choose a window seat on the right for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while looking toward the mountains. Visibility is highest during the winter months after a western disturbance has cleared the smog.
West Delhi Urbanization
A sprawling view of the densely packed residential and industrial sectors of West Delhi shortly after takeoff.
Agricultural Heartland
The intricate geometric patchwork of the 'Breadbasket of India', featuring vibrant green and golden fields.
Irrigation Canals
A network of massive canals like the Sirsa Branch that define the landscape of rural Haryana and Punjab.
Sit on this side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the flat horizon of the Punjab plains. It is also the best side for observing the transition from urban sprawl to rural agriculture.
