Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more iconic experience, featuring major river crossings and the potential to see the Taj Mahal and the Yamuna River during the approach to Delhi.
Godavari River
Expansive views of South India's longest river crossing shortly after departure from Hyderabad.
Narmada River
A distinct silver ribbon cutting through the dense forests and plains of Madhya Pradesh.
Taj Mahal
On clear days, the white marble monument is visible next to the Yamuna River during the descent into Delhi.
Yamuna Expressway
The long, straight concrete artery connecting Agra to Greater Noida clearly visible from above.
Delhi Skyline
Panoramic views of the sprawling capital and suburban hubs like Noida and Ghaziabad.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Taj Mahal near Agra during descent. Morning flights are recommended to avoid the smog and haze that often obscure the Delhi NCR landscape in the afternoons.
Deccan Plateau
Unique granite boulder formations and rocky terrain of Telangana visible shortly after takeoff.
Satpura Range
Rugged mountainous terrain marking the geographic transition into central India.
Gwalior Fort
Distant high-altitude views of the historic sandstone fort on the western horizon.
Aravalli Hills
The ancient fold mountains appearing as low ridges as the aircraft enters the NCR region.
Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the western horizon. During the descent, keep an eye out for the rocky ridges of the Aravalli range, which are most prominent on this side.
