Which side of the plane to sit from Dabolim Airport (Goa) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a comprehensive tour of India's interior geography, featuring the lush Sahyadri escarpments, major river systems of Central India, and the ancient Aravalli ridges during the descent into Delhi.
Sahyadri Escarpments
Immediate views of the Western Ghats after takeoff, featuring steep cliffs and deep valleys.
River Narmada
The crossing of the massive Narmada river, a vital artery flowing through the heart of Madhya Pradesh.
Central Indian Forests
Vast stretches of green forest cover belonging to the Satpura and Vindhya mountain ranges.
Aravalli Range
One of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, appearing as jagged ridges shortly before the Delhi descent.
Delhi NCR Landmarks
Clear views of the urban sprawl of Gurgaon and South Delhi landmarks like the Qutub Minar on final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon glare while seeing the detailed topography of the Ghats. For the best photography of the Aravalli ridges, try to sit in the front third of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction.
Konkan Coastline
Dramatic views of the jagged coastline and sandy coves as the aircraft departs from Goa and heads north.
Mumbai Panorama
A distant but clear view of the Mumbai peninsula and its skyline depending on the specific flight corridor.
Rajasthan Margins
The changing colors of the earth as the landscape transitions into the arid zones of southern Rajasthan.
Arabian Sea Sunset
Unobstructed views of the sun setting over the western horizon for flights departing in the late afternoon.
Select the left side for evening departures to witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the monsoon season (June to September), keep a lookout for the thick clouds breaking over the coastal plains of Maharashtra.
