Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Sheikh ul Alam Airport (Srinagar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic rise of the Greater Himalayas and the rugged snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal Range as the aircraft approaches the Kashmir Valley.
Search flights from DEL to SXR
Greater Himalayas
Stunning distant views of the high-altitude snow peaks of the Greater Himalayan range.
Nun Kun Massif
On clear days, the twin peaks of Nun and Kun can be spotted in the distance to the northeast.
Pir Panjal Ridges
Direct, dramatic views of the jagged, snow-dusted mountain passes that guard the entrance to Srinagar.
Mountain Descent
The exhilarating visual of the aircraft flying closely parallel to the high mountain ridges during approach.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the peaks illuminated by the rising sun. Try to sit away from the wing (Rows 1-10 or 25+) to ensure an unobstructed view of the high-altitude glaciers and ridges. This side is particularly spectacular in winter when the entire range is covered in deep snow.

Delhi Urban Expanse
Aerial view of the sprawling capital city and its geometric road networks during takeoff.
Punjab Plains
The vast, lush agricultural heartland of northern India stretching toward the horizon.
Pir Panjal West
A close-up view of the western ridges of the Pir Panjal Range during the initial descent phase.
Srinagar Basin
The scenic transition from rugged mountains to the flat, fertile floor of the Kashmir Valley.
The left side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a great perspective of the transition from the flat plains to the sudden verticality of the mountains. Look for the meandering rivers of the Punjab region before reaching the foothills.
