Stok Kangri Range
Visible immediately after takeoff, these iconic peaks dominate the skyline south of Leh.
Nun Kun Massif
The highest peaks in the Zanskar Range, standing at over 7,000 meters, offering a spectacular glacial sight.
Zanskar Mountains
Dramatic, jagged rock formations and deep canyons characteristic of the Trans-Himalayan landscape.
Kishtwar National Park
As the altitude drops, the barren rocks give way to the dense coniferous forests of the Kishtwar region.
Great Himalayan Range
A continuous wall of snow-capped mountains that forms the backbone of the flight's scenery.
Book an early morning window seat on the left for the clearest views before clouds build up. The sun will be behind you or to the side, illuminating the peaks perfectly for photography. During winter, look for the frozen Zanskar River snaking through the gorges below.

Pir Panjal Range
The final major mountain barrier, showing lush green slopes and deep valleys as you approach Jammu.
