Which side of the plane to sit from Allahabad Airport (Allahabad) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Triveni Sangam shortly after takeoff and the possibility of seeing the distant Himalayas on clear days.
Triveni Sangam
Unparalleled view of the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati right after takeoff.
Ganges River
Extended views of India's most sacred river as the flight tracks northwest toward the capital.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear winter mornings, the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas are often visible to the far north.
Aligarh City
Clear views of the historic university town and its distinct urban layout from cruising altitude.
Delhi Green Belt
Scenic descent over the Okhla Bird Sanctuary and the lush forests of the Delhi Ridge.
The Right side is essential for the Sangam view immediately after takeoff from IXD. Book an early morning flight (7 AM - 9 AM) for the highest probability of seeing the Himalayas through the horizon haze. Bring a zoom lens to capture the distant mountain peaks.
Yamuna Meanders
Spectacular aerial views of the Yamuna River carving through the fertile landscape.
Industrial Kanpur
Bird's eye view of the industrial infrastructure surrounding the major city of Kanpur.
Doab Farmlands
A vibrant mosaic of green and gold agricultural plots between the two major rivers.
Noida Skyline
Dense urban development and high-rises as you enter the National Capital Region.
Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the riverbeds. Watch for the stark contrast between the industrial zones and the traditional rural farms during the mid-flight segment.
