Which side of the plane to sit from Dabolim Airport (Goa) to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual experience, tracking the stunning Arabian Sea coastline and providing a potential bird's-eye view of the Mumbai metropolitan skyline and the Gulf of Khambhat.
North Goa Beaches
Aerial views of Vagator, Anjuna, and Arambol beaches immediately after departure from Dabolim.
Mumbai Peninsula
A spectacular view of South Mumbai, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, and the dense urban landscape of India's financial capital.
Gulf of Khambhat
Witness the dramatic tidal flats and the confluence where the Narmada and Tapi rivers meet the sea.
Vasai Creek
A complex network of waterways and salt pans located just north of the Mumbai suburban region.
Sabarmati Riverfront
During the final approach into Ahmedabad, the developed riverfront and the city's modern architecture are clearly visible.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while capturing the coastline. During winter months, visibility is best between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the coastal haze often clears. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes after takeoff for the Mumbai skyline.
Western Ghats (Sahyadris)
Parallel views of the ancient, UNESCO-listed mountain range with its unique flat-topped peaks and deep valleys.
Koyna Reservoir
One of the largest dams in Maharashtra, appearing as a massive blue expanse amidst the green mountain terrain.
Kalsubai Peak
The highest point in Maharashtra is often visible rising above the surrounding Sahyadri clouds.
Narmada River
A view of the wide Narmada river crossing near Bharuch, an essential geographic marker in Gujarat.
Gujarat Industrial Hubs
See the sprawling industrial landscapes of Vapi and Surat as the flight transitions into the plains of Gujarat.
The right side is exceptional during the Monsoon season (July to September) when the Western Ghats turn vibrant green with countless seasonal waterfalls. For evening flights, this side offers a better view of the sunset over the horizon as you fly north. Look for the massive industrial clusters of South Gujarat which are particularly bright during night flights.
