Search flights from IDR to HYD
Maheshwar Landscape
Scenic views of the Narmada river valley and the historic plains of the Malwa region.
Plateau Horizons
Vast, flat-topped hills characteristic of the Deccan Traps geological formation.
Twin Reservoirs
Look for the large Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar lakes just before touchdown.
HITEC City
On specific western approach paths, the modern high-rises of Hyderabad's tech hub are visible.
Recommended for evening flights for golden hour lighting. As the plane descends into Hyderabad from the west, the Right side offers the clearest views of the Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar reservoirs, which are iconic landmarks of the city's outskirts. During peak summer, expect some haze that may obscure distant views.

Narmada River Crossing
The flight crosses this sacred river shortly after takeoff, offering a broad view of the riverbed.
Satpura Mountains
Dense green forest cover and undulating hills of the Satpura range are visible beneath.
Deccan Plains
The landscape transitions into the vast agricultural heartland of the Deccan Plateau.
North Hyderabad
Distant views of the Hussain Sagar lake and Secunderabad during the base leg of the approach.
Best for morning travel to minimize glare. During monsoon months (July to September), this side offers the best views of the verdant Satpura forests and the full-flowing Narmada river shortly after departure. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight for the river crossing.
