NAG → PNQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (Nagpur) to Pune Airport (Pune)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Deccan Plateau landscapes, the northern hill ranges of Marathwada, and a clearer view of the Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial belt during the final approach into Pune.
Ambazari Lake
A large, prominent water body visible immediately after departing from Nagpur Airport.
Ajanta Range
Distant but visible rocky outcrops and hill ranges of the northern Deccan plateau.
Daulatabad Fort
On clear days, the distinct triangular silhouette of this historic hill fort near Aurangabad can be spotted.
Pimpri-Chinchwad
The massive industrial and automobile manufacturing hub visible just before landing at PNQ.
Deccan Sunset
Spectacular orange hues over the plateau if flying during the evening 'golden hour'.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Sahyadri foothills. During the monsoon season (June–September), this side offers stunning views of the lush green plateau and seasonal water bodies forming in the craters and valleys.
Nagpur Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'Orange City' and its distinctive radial road patterns shortly after takeoff.
Wardha River
Crossing one of the major river systems of the Vidarbha region during the initial climb.
Ahmednagar
Overview of the historic city and its massive military cantonment area mid-flight.
Katraj Hills
Views of the southern hill ranges surrounding Pune during the descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights (typically departing between 7 AM and 10 AM) to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides a great view of the southern Pune suburbs if the pilot follows a standard southern approach path.
