Thar Desert Fringe
The transition from Jaipur's urban center to the golden, sandy expanses of the western desert.
Ahmedabad Skyline
Potential views of the Sabarmati Riverfront if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Gulf of Khambhat
The dramatic meeting point of the Narmada River and the Arabian Sea with its distinct silty waters.
Vasai-Virar Coast
Beautiful views of the northern Mumbai beaches and extensive salt pans.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
The iconic engineering marvel and Mumbai's western coastline during the descent into BOM.
The right side is essential for sunset flights, as the sun dips over the Arabian Sea. For the best landing views, aim for a seat forward of the wing to clearly see the Mumbai skyline and the shoreline. This side is typically more scenic when landing on Runway 27, which is common for arrivals.
