IXCBOM

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior landing experience into Mumbai, featuring the Arabian Sea coastline and the iconic city skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚜

Indo-Gangetic Plains

A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields stretching across Punjab and Haryana.

🏜️

Aravalli Range

View the world's oldest fold mountains cutting through the desert landscapes of Rajasthan.

🌊

Gulf of Khambhat

Aerial views of the Gujarat coastline and the muddy estuaries where rivers meet the Arabian Sea.

🌉

Mumbai Skyline

On the standard approach to Runway 27, see the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the skyscrapers of South Mumbai.

🚢

Arabian Sea

Stunning vistas of the ocean and shipping vessels waiting near the Mumbai port during the final descent.

The right side is highly recommended for the arrival into Mumbai. If the flight lands from the west (Runway 27), you will have an unobstructed view of the coast and the city's famous skyline. For sunset flights, this side provides spectacular views of the sun dipping into the Arabian Sea.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Shivalik Foothills

Immediately after departure from IXC, catch glimpses of the lower Himalayan ranges to the northeast.

🏙️

Delhi NCR Sprawl

The massive urban expanse of India's capital is often visible as the flight path skirts the eastern edge of Delhi.

⛰️

Vindhya Range

Rugged, ancient rock formations and plateau landscapes as the flight crosses Central India into Maharashtra.

🌿

Western Ghats

Dense green ridges of the Sahyadri mountains visible during the descent into the Konkan region.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the plains. It is also the better side for viewing the initial ascent near the mountains. During monsoon season (June-Sept), the Western Ghats on this side appear exceptionally lush and vibrant.
