Which side of the plane to sit from Jammu Airport (Jammu) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the majestic Himalayan foothills and the snow-capped Pir Panjal range during the first half of the journey.
Pir Panjal Range
Stunning views of the high-altitude mountain peaks shortly after takeoff from Jammu.
Trikuta Hills
The sacred mountains housing the Vaishno Devi shrine are visible to the northeast.
Beas River
A clear view of the winding river as it flows from the mountains into the Punjab plains.
Dhauladhar Range
Distant but clear sightings of the granite mountain walls of Himachal Pradesh.
Ludhiana Landscape
The sprawling industrial urban layout of one of Punjab's largest cities.
Early morning flights are highly recommended to see the sun rising over the Himalayas. In winter, ensure the flight is before 10 AM for the crispest air and best mountain visibility before haze sets in.
Ravi River
Aerial crossing of the Ravi river, which acts as a natural boundary in several sectors.
Punjab Farmlands
A massive patchwork of agricultural fields that change color from green to gold seasonally.
Pathankot Region
View of the strategic city located at the meeting point of Punjab, J&K, and Himachal.
Haryana Plains
Flat, fertile land stretching to the horizon as the plane descends toward the capital.
Delhi NCR
The dense urban grid and massive highway interchanges of the National Capital Region.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side offers better views of the sunset over the plains and the intricate canal irrigation networks of rural Punjab.
