HYD → JAI
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Jaipur International Airport (Jaipur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more diverse array of landmarks, including significant river crossings in Central India and a superior angle for viewing the Aravalli mountain range and Jaipur's historic forts on the final approach.
Narmada River
A clear view of the holy Narmada River as it cuts through the Vindhya and Satpura mountain ranges.
Aravalli Range
Excellent views of one of the world's oldest fold mountain systems as the flight nears Jaipur.
Jaipur Hill Forts
Distinguishable views of Nahargarh and Amer Fort perched on the hills during the descent.
Central Indian Plains
Vibrant agricultural patches and water bodies scattered across the Madhya Pradesh landscape.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Central Indian heartland. During the descent into Jaipur (JAI), keep your camera ready as the plane often banks, revealing the Pink City and its surrounding forts against the Aravalli backdrop.
Hyderabad Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the Hi-Tech City area and the expanding outskirts of Hyderabad shortly after takeoff.
Semi-Arid Landscapes
The dramatic shift from the green Deccan Plateau to the more arid, rocky terrains of Southern Rajasthan.
Sunset Horizon
On evening flights, this side provides spectacular views of the sun dipping below the desert horizon.
Sit on the left for evening departures to avoid direct solar glare while enjoying the warm colors of the Rajasthan twilight. It is also the better side for observing the vast industrial corridors between the two states.
