Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most iconic views of the Mumbai skyline, the Vashi creek, and the expansive Arabian Sea during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Satpura Range

View the rolling hills of the Satpura range shortly after leaving the Jabalpur region.

🌊

Godavari River

Cross over the sacred Godavari river near the city of Nashik as you head southwest.

🏗️

Navi Mumbai

Observe the planned urban sprawl and infrastructure of Navi Mumbai during the initial descent.

🌉

Thane Creek

See the massive bridges connecting the mainland to the island city of Mumbai.

🏙️

Mumbai Skyline

Unparalleled views of the south Mumbai skyscrapers and the coastline on final approach.

Opt for an early morning flight to catch the sun rising over the Western Ghats. During the monsoon (June-Sept), the transition from the dry Deccan plateau to the lush green coast is spectacular. Sit ahead or behind the wing for unobstructed ground views, especially during the landing bank over the sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Narmada River

Catch a glimpse of the winding Narmada river near Jabalpur right after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Ghats Escarpment

Dramatic views of the steep cliffs of the Sahyadri mountains during the descent phase.

⛰️

Kalsubai Peak

Look for the highest point in Maharashtra, often visible to the north of the flight path.

🌳

Sanjay Gandhi National Park

A massive green lung visible on the right as the plane aligns with the runway.

🚤

Tansa & Vaitarna Lakes

Spot the major reservoirs that provide water to the city of Mumbai nestled in the hills.

The right side is excellent for spotting the rugged topography of the Western Ghats and the dense forests of the National Park. In the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, which might cause glare, so polarized glasses are recommended. Watch for the sudden transition from forest to dense urban housing just before touchdown.
