Diu Fort and Island
Immediately after takeoff, get a bird's-eye view of the massive Portuguese fort and the island's unique architecture.
Somnath Temple
One of the most sacred Jyotirlingas, this massive temple complex is clearly visible on the shoreline near Veraval.
Veraval Fishing Harbour
A dense concentration of colorful boats in one of India's largest fishing ports.
Coastal Salt Pans
Intricate geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds reflecting the sunlight along the shoreline.
Madhavpur Ghed Beach
A long, pristine stretch of sandy coastline known for its turquoise waters and turtle nesting sites.
This is the premier side for photography. The Somnath Temple is the key landmark to watch for roughly 15-20 minutes into the flight. To avoid wing obstruction on the small regional aircraft typically used for this route, try to book seats toward the very front or back. The low cruising altitude makes for excellent detail of the rugged Saurashtra geography.

Arabian Sea Expanse
A vast, uninterrupted view of the deep blue Arabian Sea extending to the horizon.
Fishing Boat Clusters
Watch for hundreds of traditional wooden fishing boats scattered across the coastal waters.
Ocean Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides a stunning view of the sun dipping into the sea.
Choose this side if you prefer a peaceful, meditative view of the open ocean. It is particularly scenic during sunset hours. Since the flight is very short and flies at a lower altitude, you might spot larger marine life or commercial shipping vessels heading toward the Gulf of Kutch.
