Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, look north to see the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas rising above the clouds in the distance.
Yunnan Highlands
The rugged, deep-valley terrain of Southwest China, featuring dramatic changes in elevation and lush vegetation.
Irrawaddy River
A clear view of Myanmar's principal waterway snaking through the central dry zone and fertile plains.
Central Indian Cities
Bird's-eye views of major Indian urban centers like Nagpur, displaying the unique circular city planning.
Western Ghats
The spectacular Sahyadri mountains with sharp cliffs and seasonal waterfalls during the approach to Mumbai.
The right side is ideal for daytime flights to catch the northern mountain ranges. For the sunset flight, you will have a front-row seat to a spectacular sky, though glare can be intense. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Western Ghats during the steep descent into Mumbai.

The left side is generally better for night flights as you avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying westward. It offers excellent views of the vast river deltas in South Asia, particularly stunning during the post-monsoon season when the landscape is vibrant green.
