Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Pune Airport (Pune)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the ancient Aravalli Range, the historic forts of Rajasthan, and the dramatic descent into the Western Ghats near Pune.
Aravalli Range
Fly parallel to one of the world's oldest fold mountain ranges shortly after leaving Delhi.
Jaipur (The Pink City)
Clear views of the Aravalli forts including Amer and Nahargarh on the outskirts of Jaipur.
Narmada River Crossing
A spectacular view of the holy Narmada River as it carves through the marble rocks of central India.
Western Ghats (Sahyadris)
Stunning views of the basaltic plateaus and sharp peaks of the Sahyadri mountains during the Pune descent.
Khadakwasla Region
The glistening waters of the reservoirs and dams surrounding Pune tucked within the mountain folds.
The right side is best for sunset flights, providing a golden hour glow over the Sahyadri mountains. During the monsoon (June-September), this side offers breathtaking views of numerous waterfalls cascading down the green Ghats during the final approach into Pune.
Delhi-NCR Megacity
Massive aerial view of the capital's organized sectors and the Yamuna River during takeoff.
Chambal River Ravines
The unique, deeply eroded badland topography of the Chambal Valley in Madhya Pradesh.
Indore City
A clear view of the commercial hub of central India as the flight passes over the Malwa Plateau.
Satpura Range
The lush, rugged ridges of the Satpura mountains stretching across the central Indian landscape.
Aurangabad Region
Rugged Deccan terrain near the famous Ajanta and Ellora cave regions as you enter Maharashtra.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise lighting over the Indo-Gangetic plains without direct glare. This side is also better for spotting the sprawling urban development of Gurugram immediately after departure.
