Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is generally superior for this route as it offers the potential to spot the Yamuna River and the city of Agra, including a distant view of the Taj Mahal, depending on the specific flight corridor and air traffic control patterns.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛶

Narmada River

Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the sacred Narmada River winding through the landscapes of Jabalpur.

🏛️

Agra Landmarks

On clear days, the white marble of the Taj Mahal and the red sandstone of Agra Fort can be spotted along the banks of the Yamuna.

🌊

Yamuna River

The flight often parallels the Yamuna, showing its path through the fertile plains of Uttar Pradesh toward the capital.

🛕

Mathura and Vrindavan

Look for the temple clusters and dense urban pockets of these holy twin cities situated along the river.

🌳

Okhla Sanctuary

Just before landing, view the green patches and wetlands of the Okhla Bird Sanctuary on the border of Delhi and Noida.

For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the sun's glare while looking east toward the Taj Mahal. Be aware that winter smog (November to January) can significantly reduce visibility over the Indo-Gangetic plains, so early summer or post-monsoon months offer the clearest views.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Vindhya Range

View the ancient, rugged plateau and forest-covered hills of Central India shortly after takeoff from Jabalpur.

🏜️

Chambal Ravines

Observe the unique and dramatic badland topography carved by the Chambal River near the border of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

🏯

Gwalior Fort

The massive sandstone hill fort of Gwalior is often visible standing prominently on a plateau to the west of the flight path.

🎡

Gurugram Skyline

As the plane banks for its final approach into Delhi, you get a clear view of the modern high-rises and Cyber City in Haryana.

🏙️

Dwarka Sub-city

Densely packed residential blocks of West Delhi provide a geometric display during the final minutes of the descent.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the desert-fringe landscapes of Rajasthan. It is also the better side for viewing the high-rise urban sprawl of Gurugram if landing from the west. Keep an eye out for the distinct Gwalior Fort roughly midway through the journey.
