Which side of the plane to sit from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (Nagpur) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior as it follows the course of the Yamuna River and offers the highest probability of spotting the Taj Mahal and the historic cities of the North Indian plains during descent.
Pench Forest Region
Dense teak forests and wildlife corridors located just north of Nagpur during the initial climb.
The Taj Mahal
The iconic white marble mausoleum in Agra is often visible to the east during the descent phase.
Yamuna River
The winding path of the Yamuna provides a silver ribbon guide into the capital city.
Mathura and Vrindavan
High-density temple clusters and the holy ghats of these ancient cities visible from cruising altitude.
Bundelkhand Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields that change colors dramatically between the rabi and kharif seasons.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see Agra's monuments. To spot the Taj Mahal, look out about 15-20 minutes before landing when the plane begins its descent. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side. During monsoon (July-Sept), look for the spectacular greenery and swollen rivers.
Satpura Range
Rugged, forested hills of the Satpura-Maikal range visible shortly after takeoff from Nagpur.
Chambal Ravines
The unique, deeply eroded 'badlands' landscape near the border of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
Bhopal Skyline
The expansive Upper Lake and the sprawl of the 'City of Lakes' visible to the west on clear days.
Aravalli Foothills
Ancient, weathered ridges of the Aravalli Range appearing as the flight nears the Delhi NCR region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. This side is excellent for seeing the dramatic erosion of the Chambal region. During the winter months, be aware that heavy smog or fog in North India can severely limit visibility during the final 20 minutes of the flight.
