HYD → RPR
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Raipur Airport (Raipur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the meandering Godavari River and the transition into the dense forest belts of the Bastar region and eastern Maharashtra border.
Old City Hyderabad
Aerial view of the dense urban fabric of Hyderabad city during the initial ascent.
Godavari River Crossing
A magnificent view of the wide Godavari River as the flight enters central India.
Indravati Forests
The edges of the lush, green forest reserves that span the Chhattisgarh border.
Ramagundam Power Plants
The massive thermal power stations and their cooling towers are clearly visible from high altitude.
Eastern Ghats Foothills
The rolling hills and rugged terrain signaling the approach into the Raipur basin.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear lighting for the Godavari river. This side offers better views of the industrial landmarks and the green transition into Chhattisgarh's plateau.
Hyderabad Suburbs
View of the northern residential clusters and the Nehru Outer Ring Road shortly after takeoff.
Manair Dam
The expansive reservoir near Karimnagar is visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Telangana Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields and local irrigation canals typical of the Deccan Plateau.
Industrial Hubs
Large industrial units and mining activities near the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border.
Sit on the left during early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise without direct glare. Keep an eye out for the shimmering waters of the local reservoirs about 15-20 minutes after departure.
