DEL → RPR
Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Raipur Airport (Raipur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior chance to spot the Taj Mahal near Agra and provides excellent views of the Yamuna River and the transition into the fertile plains of Chhattisgarh.
Delhi Urban Scape
Sweeping views of the planned sectors of South Delhi and the Okhla region immediately after takeoff.
Agra & Taj Mahal
On clear days, if the flight path stays east, the white marble Taj Mahal and Agra Fort are visible in the distance.
Yamuna River Meanders
Follow the winding course of the Yamuna River as it flows through the northern plains of India.
Panna Forest Buffer
Bird's eye view of the dense deciduous forests of the Panna Tiger Reserve region in Madhya Pradesh.
Rice Bowl of India
The vast, emerald-green rice paddies of the Chhattisgarh plains as you descend toward Raipur.
For the best visibility of Agra, book a morning flight when the sun is behind you. During the monsoon (July-September), the landscape turns a vibrant green, but clouds may obstruct landmarks. Ask for a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.
Gwalior Fort
The massive sandstone hill fort of Gwalior is a prominent landmark often visible to the west of the flight path.
Vindhya Mountain Range
Rugged aerial perspectives of the ancient, folded rock formations of the Vindhya plateau.
Narmada Tributaries
Glimpses of various dams and smaller rivers feeding into the Narmada basin in central India.
Satpura Highlands
Views of the undulating hills and dense teak forests of the Satpura range in southern Madhya Pradesh.
Naya Raipur Development
Clear views of the modern, grid-based urban planning of Atal Nagar (Naya Raipur) during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of Naya Raipur's new infrastructure as the plane lines up for landing at RPR.
