Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route, particularly during the approach into Mumbai. While the left offers great inland views of Central India, the right side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Arabian Sea and the iconic Mumbai coastline and skyline during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Chambal Ravines

The dramatic, eroded landscape of the Chambal river valley creates a unique labyrinthine pattern from above.

💧

Bhojtal Lake

A potential sighting of the massive Upper Lake of Bhopal as the flight path cuts across Madhya Pradesh.

🏔️

Western Ghats

Spectacular views of the Sahyadri mountains, especially lush and filled with waterfalls during the monsoon season.

🌊

Arabian Sea Coast

As the plane banks for its final approach, you get an expansive view of the coastline meeting the deep blue sea.

🌉

Bandra-Worli Sea Link

The most iconic view of Mumbai’s skyline and the cable-stayed bridge is typically visible from the right on standard approaches.

For the best experience, book a window seat on the right for an afternoon or evening flight to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the monsoon (June-Sept), look out for the vibrant green Ghats.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Lucknow Takeoff

Aerial views of the Gomti River and the historic architecture of the 'City of Nawabs' immediately after departure.

⛰️

Vindhya Range

Cross over the ancient, rugged sandstone ridges of the Vindhya mountain range in Central India.

🌲

Sanjay Gandhi National Park

The dense green canopy of Mumbai's northern forest reserve is visible during the final descent phases.

⚓

Mumbai Harbor

Views of the industrial docks and the various ships anchored in the harbor on the eastern side of the peninsula.

🏘️

Dharavi and Central Mumbai

A striking perspective of Mumbai's unique urban density and architectural contrast just before touchdown.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It provides a more consistent view of the industrial and residential heart of the Deccan Plateau.
