Indus River Delta
The complex web of the Indus river and its tributaries winding through the Sindh province toward the Arabian Sea.
Thar Desert Dunes
Stunning vistas of the Great Indian Desert, featuring rhythmic sand dunes and isolated desert settlements.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the Thar Desert with warm, golden tones. During the descent into Delhi, this side often provides the best views of the city's architectural landmarks and the vast urban canopy. Be aware that during the winter months (December–January), heavy smog or fog can significantly obscure ground views when approaching Delhi, so early morning or late evening visibility may be limited.

Punjab Border Plains
The transition from the Sindh desert into the lush, irrigated agricultural heartlands near the Indo-Pak border.
Himalayan Horizon
On exceptionally clear winter days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas may be visible to the far north.
Opt for the left side on afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. This side is also better for observing the distinct transition between the desert and the heavily irrigated agricultural zones of the Punjab region. Keep an eye out for the twinkling lights of Lahore and Amritsar if flying at night, as the flight path passes relatively close to this corridor.
