JAI → HYD
Which side of the plane to sit from Jaipur International Airport (Jaipur) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the ancient Aravalli Range immediately after takeoff and provides better proximity to the scenic reservoirs and lakes surrounding Hyderabad during the final approach.
Aravalli Range
Stunning views of the weathered peaks of the Aravallis, one of the world's oldest fold mountain systems.
Malwa Plateau
The transition from the arid Rajasthan desert to the fertile, volcanic black soil of the Malwa region.
Narmada River Gorges
The crossing of the holy Narmada River, often visible with deep limestone gorges and temple towns along its banks.
Satpura Ridges
Dense forest canopies and undulating hills of the Satpura range as the flight progresses into Central India.
Osman Sagar Reservoir
A clear view of the historic Gandipet lake and its surrounding greenery during the descent into Hyderabad.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct glare of the sun. This side is also preferred for seeing the sunset over the Deccan Plateau on late afternoon departures. Watch for the distinct change in soil color from brown to deep black as you enter Madhya Pradesh.
Jaipur Urban Core
Aerial views of the 'Pink City' architecture and the historic Hawa Mahal area shortly after departure from JAI.
Chambal River Valley
Dramatic views of the winding Chambal River and its famous rugged ravines known as the 'Badlands of India'.
Bhopal City & Lakes
Visuals of the Upper and Lower Lakes of Bhopal, which appear as massive blue expanses amidst the urban landscape.
Godavari River Basin
A crossing of one of India's longest rivers, showcasing wide sandy banks and intensive agricultural irrigation.
Hyderabad ORR
The spectacular circular lighting of the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road during evening or night arrivals.
Book an evening flight to witness the city lights of Bhopal and the glow of Hyderabad's tech corridors. During the monsoon, the Godavari river basin turns vibrant green, offering excellent contrast for photography.
