North Goa Coastline
Panoramic views of Vagator, Anjuna, and Arambol beaches shortly after takeoff from Dabolim.
Sindhudurg Fort
A historic 17th-century island fort built by the Maratha Empire, visible near the Malvan coast.
Konkan Coves
Striking views of the rugged Maharashtra coastline with hidden white-sand bays and turquoise waters.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
A stunning aerial perspective of the cable-stayed bridge as the plane prepares for landing in Mumbai.
Mumbai Skyline
A bird's-eye view of the dense skyscrapers of South Mumbai and the historic harbor area.
For the best lighting, book a late morning or afternoon flight so the sun illuminates the coastline rather than reflecting off the water. If the aircraft approaches from the sea (Runway 09/27), the left side offers an iconic view of the city skyline. During the winter months, look for fishing trawlers scattered across the Arabian Sea.

Western Ghats
The UNESCO World Heritage Sahyadri mountain range running parallel to the flight path.
Koyna Reservoir
A massive, deep blue body of water surrounded by the dense forests of the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve.
Navi Mumbai Urbanization
The impressive planned urban layout and bridges connecting Mumbai to the mainland.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A large protected forest area visible to the northeast as the plane descends into BOM airport.
The right side is best during the monsoon season (June to September) when the mountains are emerald green and dotted with hundreds of seasonal waterfalls. Choose a morning flight for the right side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. Keep an eye out for the large salt pans located on the eastern outskirts of the city during the final descent.
