Indore Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'Mini Mumbai' including the Rajwada area and the expanding southern suburbs shortly after takeoff.
Narmada River Crossing
A breathtaking view of the wide Narmada River, one of India's most sacred waterways, cutting through the landscape.
Satpura Mountain Range
The flight traverses the rugged terrain of the Satpura hills, showing deep valleys and forested ridges.
Deccan Plateau Farmland
The transition into the northern Maharashtra plains, characterized by a patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages.
East Pune Approach
Clear views of the IT hubs in Kharadi and Wagholi as the aircraft lines up for landing at Lohegaon.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare from the eastern sun. During the monsoon (July-September), the landscape turns incredibly vibrant green; look for seasonal waterfalls in the Satpura range about 15-20 minutes into the flight. Seats behind the wing offer the best unobstructed views of the Narmada River.

Maheshwar Region
Distant views of the historic Maheshwar area on the banks of the Narmada River to the west.
Tapti River
The aircraft crosses the Tapti River valley, another major geographical marker of the Central Indian landscape.
Sahyadri Western Ghats
On the descent, the jagged peaks of the northern Western Ghats are visible in the distance to the west.
Lohegaon Air Force Base
A close-up view of the Sukhoi-30MKI hangars and military infrastructure of the Pune Air Force Station during touchdown.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to stay in the shade. It offers a slightly better perspective of the rugged Western Ghats mountain line in the distance as the flight nears Pune. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing to capture the mixed military-civilian infrastructure of Pune Airport.
