Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Maharana Pratap Airport (Udaipur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Aravalli Range and typically provides a better angle to see Udaipur's iconic lakes and the City Palace during the landing approach.
IGI Airport Complex
A full view of the runways and terminals of Delhi Airport immediately after takeoff.
Thar Desert Fringes
View of the arid landscapes and traditional circular village settlements typical of rural Rajasthan.
Aravalli Spine
The flight path runs parallel to the main mountain spine, offering clear views of the jagged peaks.
Udaipur Lakes
Spectacular views of Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake as the plane descends toward the city.
The City Palace
A bird's eye view of the massive white marble palace complex located on the banks of Lake Pichola.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights, offering stunning sunset views over the desert horizon. As the aircraft makes its final turn for Maharana Pratap Airport, this side usually faces the city center, making it the prime spot for photography of the 'City of Lakes'.
Delhi NCR Urban Spread
Aerial view of the sprawling suburbs of Gurugram and the dense urban geometry of South Delhi.
Alwar Hill Forts
Occasional sightings of historic forts perched on the rugged ridges of the Alwar district.
Sambhar Salt Lake
A distant view of India's largest inland salt lake, appearing as a white or silver expanse depending on the season.
Aravalli Foothills
Continuous views of the ancient fold mountains showing unique geological patterns and scrub forests.
Choose this side on morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better visibility. It is excellent for observing the transition from the flat Gangetic plains to the rugged Rajasthani terrain. During the monsoon, this side showcases the greenery of the Sariska region.
