Which side of the plane to sit from Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (Indore) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic transition from the central Indian plateaus to the coastal metropolis, featuring the sharpest peaks of the Sahyadri range and the iconic Mumbai shoreline upon arrival.
Vindhya Escarpment
Look out for the steep slopes of the Vindhya Range immediately after departing from the Indore plateau.
Nashik Hinterland
Fly over the fertile plains of the Nashik region, known for its extensive vineyards and the upper Godavari basin.
Igatpuri Peaks
Witness the dramatic peaks of the Western Ghats (Sahyadris), especially the Kalsubai range which is the highest in Maharashtra.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A rare view of a dense tropical forest situated entirely within the city limits of Mumbai.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
On the final approach into Runway 27, the right side offers a world-class view of the Mumbai skyline and the famous Sea Link bridge.
The right side is unbeatable for the iconic Mumbai coastline view. Book an evening flight to see the 'Queen's Necklace' lighting up. During the monsoon (June to September), this side offers breathtaking views of misty mountains and seasonal waterfalls in the Western Ghats.
Narmada River Crossing
Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the majestic Narmada River as it carves through the central Indian landscape.
Satpura Range
View the rolling, ancient hills of the Satpura range that define the border between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Navi Mumbai Development
As the plane descends, observe the massive industrial and residential growth of the Navi Mumbai area.
Mumbai Harbor & JNPT
See the massive container ships and the vast expanse of the Thane Creek and Mumbai harbor area before touchdown.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly interesting if the flight approach path takes you over the Eastern Harbor and the Elephanta Caves area.
