Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic monuments of Agra and the meandering Yamuna River during the final approach into Delhi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Godavari Basin

Lush greenery surrounding the upper reaches of the Godavari river early in the flight.

🏔️

Vindhya Range

Flight path crosses the ancient, forested ridges that historically separated north and south India.

🐊

Chambal Ravines

The unique and dramatic badland topography carved by the winding Chambal River.

🕌

Taj Mahal

The world-famous ivory-white marble mausoleum is often visible on the banks of the Yamuna River near Agra.

⛲

Agra Fort

Large red sandstone fort visible along the river bend just north of the Taj Mahal.

🛕

Akshardham Temple

Massive stone temple complex visible on the right if the flight circles East Delhi before landing.

This is the 'money side' for landmark spotting. About 20-25 minutes before landing, keep your camera ready for Agra's monuments. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the Taj Mahal from the east, making it glow against the river landscape. Avoid peak winter mornings (December-January) as heavy fog often obscures the ground completely.

⛰️

Ajanta Range

Rugged hill formations of the Deccan Plateau visible shortly after departure from Aurangabad.

💧

Narmada River

A major crossing over the deep blue waters of central India's sacred river.

🌾

Malwa Plateau

Expansive views of the patchwork agricultural fields and flat-topped ridges of Madhya Pradesh.

🏰

Gwalior Fort

Distant views of the historic sandstone fortress perched atop a hill to the west of the flight path.

🏙️

Gurgaon Skyline

The modern high-rise glass towers of the NCR area appearing during the final descent into DEL.

Opt for this side on evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Aravalli range. During the monsoon season (June-September), the landscape below transforms into a vibrant green tapestry, making the plateau views particularly striking.
