Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the arid Thar desert fringes to the vast Arabian Sea coastline, including the iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link during the Mumbai landing approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Luni River Basin

Observe the winding, often dry bed of the Luni River carving through the desert landscape shortly after departure.

🌊

Gulf of Khambhat

As the flight nears the coast, enjoy views of the massive estuary where several major rivers meet the Arabian Sea.

🏙️

Mumbai Skyline

A stunning panoramic view of the Western Suburbs and the dense urban sprawl of the financial capital.

🌉

Bandra-Worli Sea Link

The most iconic landmark on the approach to BOM, visible just before touchdown on Runway 27.

🚤

Arabian Sea Coast

Endless views of the blue horizon and the busy shipping lanes leading into Mumbai's ports.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Arabian Sea. On the standard landing approach to Runway 27, the right side provides the best view of the Mumbai coastline and the Sea Link bridge. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns toward the city.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Mehrangarh Fort

Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the massive 15th-century fortress looming over the blue houses of Jodhpur.

⛰️

Aravalli Range

The ancient folded mountain range runs parallel to the flight path, offering rugged topographical textures.

💧

Sardar Sarovar Project

Distant views of the massive canals and reservoirs associated with the Narmada River irrigation systems.

🦩

Thane Creek

During descent, look for the sprawling mudflats and mangroves of the flamingo sanctuary on the eastern edge of Mumbai.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight reflecting off the Arabian Sea. This side provides a better view of the inland geography and the industrial corridors of Gujarat and Maharashtra.
