Which side of the plane to sit from Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (Indore) to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (Nagpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the deep Narmada river valley and the verdant slopes of the Satpura Range during the cruise phase.
Indore Urban Landscape
A clear view of the well-planned grid and green belts of India's cleanest city immediately after takeoff.
Narmada River Crossing
The expansive waters of the holy Narmada river, often shimmering under the sunlight, visible as you head south.
Satpura Mountains
Aerial views of the rugged ridges and dense forest cover of the Satpura national parks and tiger reserves.
Vidarbha Farmlands
The transition into the black cotton soil region, characterized by distinct agricultural patterns and orange orchards.
Nagpur Metro Region
Views of the expanding infrastructure and northern suburbs of Nagpur during the final descent.
Book an early morning flight to see the mist rising from the Narmada valley. For the best photography of the Satpura ranges, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During monsoon (July-September), this side offers stunning views of waterfalls along the mountain escarpments.
Mhow Cantonment
The historic military base and colonial-era architecture visible shortly after departing Indore.
Pithampur Industrial Area
Massive automotive manufacturing plants that comprise one of India's largest industrial clusters.
Tapti River Basin
Secondary river sightings and the surrounding fertile plains as the flight enters Maharashtra.
Ambazari Lake
A beautiful view of Nagpur's largest lake and the adjacent garden during the landing approach.
This side is ideal for evening flights as the sunset over the Malwa plateau creates dramatic silhouettes. It also provides a better view of the heavy industrial sectors near Indore. Ensure your window is clean to capture the reflection of the sunset on the Tapti river.
