Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers unparalleled, close-up views of the majestic Dhauladhar Range and the snow-capped higher Himalayas throughout the first half of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Dhauladhar Range

Breathtaking views of the granite mountains and snow-covered peaks that tower over the Kangra Valley immediately after takeoff.

🏘️

McLeod Ganj & Dharamshala

A bird's-eye view of the hillside residences and the residence of the Dalai Lama nestled in the foothills.

⛳

Triund Ridge

Clear visibility of the popular trekking ridge and the steep hiking trails winding up the mountain face.

🏙️

Chandigarh View

As the plane heads south, you can often spot the grid-like urban planning of the 'City Beautiful' to the east.

📉

Shivalik Transition

Watch the dramatic change in terrain as the rugged mountain peaks give way to the rolling green Shivalik hills.

Book an early morning flight (before 10 AM) to avoid haze and catch the sun illuminating the mountain faces. Seats in front of the wing (Rows 1-5) provide the most unobstructed view of the high peaks during the initial ascent.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Kangra Fort

The historic fortification, one of the oldest in India, is visible perched on a cliff near the confluence of rivers shortly after departure.

💧

Pong Dam Lake

The massive Maharana Pratap Sagar reservoir appears as a vast blue expanse to the west during the climb.

🌊

Beas River

Aerial views of the meandering Beas River as it flows through the valley towards the plains of Punjab.

🌾

Punjab Plains

A vast tapestry of geometric agricultural fields that change colors from bright green to golden yellow depending on the season.

🛕

Delhi NCR Outskirts

On the final approach, the dense urban sprawl of North Delhi and the industrial corridors of Haryana come into view.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Punjab plains. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the sprawling Pong Dam reservoir, which is particularly stunning during the monsoon season when water levels are high.
