Dramatic views of the UNESCO World Heritage site featuring peaks exceeding 6,000 meters and deep glacial valleys.
Parvati Valley
The lush, steep-walled valley carved by the Parvati River, visible immediately after departure from Bhuntar.
Shimla Hill Station
The 'Queen of Hills' sprawled across a mountain ridge, identifiable by its dense urban layout and colonial-era architecture.
Yamuna River
The winding path of the Yamuna as the aircraft leaves the Shivalik foothills and enters the plains of Haryana.
Delhi Suburbs
The transition into the massive urban sprawl of North Delhi and the satellite cities during the final descent.
Standard morning departures mean the sun will be on the left; bring polarized sunglasses to manage glare off snow-capped peaks. Since this route typically uses ATR turboprop aircraft, try to sit in the rear of the cabin for an unobstructed view below the high-wing structure.
