DEL → NAG
Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (Nagpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior as it follows the course of the Yamuna River and offers a higher probability of spotting the Taj Mahal in Agra and the scenic Satpura mountain range.

Delhi Urban Sprawl
A bird's eye view of the planned sectors of New Delhi and the historic density of Old Delhi shortly after takeoff.
Yamuna River Meanders
Watch the sacred river curve through the plains of Uttar Pradesh, creating intricate silver patterns on the landscape.
Agra & Taj Mahal
On clear days, the distinct white marble of the Taj Mahal can be spotted near the riverbanks roughly 20 minutes into the flight.
Satpura Range
The rugged, forested ridges of the Satpura mountains provide a beautiful transition into Central India.
Pench Forest Buffer
Lush green canopy cover as the aircraft descends towards Nagpur, passing near major tiger reserve corridors.
For the best experience, choose an early morning flight to see the landscape bathed in soft golden light without harsh glare. The Taj Mahal is most visible when the flight path stays slightly east of Agra; look for the river bend. Post-monsoon (September–November) offers the clearest air and the greenest forest views.

Chambal Ravines
The unique 'badland' topography of the Chambal river basin, featuring deep earthen gullies and dramatic erosion.
Gwalior Fort
The massive hill fort of Gwalior stands out as a prominent historic landmark on the plateau mid-flight.
Vindhya Escarpments
The ancient, weathered ridges of the Vindhya Range stretching across the horizon of Madhya Pradesh.
Central Indian Reservoirs
Several large irrigation dams and blue reservoirs dot the arid landscape of the Bundelkhand region.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Central Indian plateau. The Chambal ravines are a geographic highlight—watch for them about 30 minutes after departure. Use a polarising filter if taking photos to cut through the frequent haze over the industrial belts of Northern India.
