Thar Desert
The sweeping dunes and arid beauty of Rajasthan shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Kutch
The unique industrial and natural coastline where India meets the Arabian Sea.
Mount Kenya
The glaciated peaks of Africa's second highest mountain, visible as the aircraft enters Kenyan airspace.
Great Rift Valley
The stunning geological fault lines and escarpments visible on the approach from the northeast.
