Which side of the plane to sit from Jaipur International Airport (Jaipur) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the rugged Aravalli Range, historical forts near Jaipur, and the green patches of Sariska while avoiding the harsh southern sun during mid-day flights.
Amber Fort and Jaipur City
Aerial perspective of the historic Pink City and the majestic Amer Fort complex shortly after takeoff.
Aravalli Range
Continuous views of the world's oldest fold mountain range stretching across the horizon.
Sariska Tiger Reserve
Lush green forest pockets that provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding semi-arid landscape.
Alwar & Bala Quila
The ancient city of Alwar and its hilltop fortress are visible during the cruise phase.
Neemrana Fort-Palace
The sprawling historical structure built into the hillside is often visible near the Rajasthan-Haryana border.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is prime for spotting the historical fortifications of Rajasthan. Early morning departures offer the best clarity before the typical North Indian haze sets in.
Agricultural Patchwork
Neat geometric patterns of rural farmland throughout the Rajasthan and Haryana plains.
Industrial Corridor
Massive manufacturing hubs of Bhiwadi and Dharuhera visible as you cross the state border.
Gurugram Skyline
The dense cluster of skyscrapers, corporate parks, and Cyber City during the descent into Delhi.
IGI Airport Complex
A full view of the massive Terminal 3 and busy runways if landing from the west.
The right side is excellent for evening flights to witness the glittering urban sprawl of the National Capital Region. Be aware that during winter months (December-January), heavy smog can significantly reduce visibility on this side during the approach.
