Nagpur Skyline
Panoramic views of the 'Orange City' immediately after takeoff, including the Zero Mile area and central lakes.
Satpura Foothills
Distal views of the rugged Maikal Hills and Satpura range rising to the north of the flight path.
Pench Forest Corridor
Lush green patches representing the wildlife corridors that link the major tiger reserves of Central India.
Totladoh Reservoir
On clear days, the shimmering waters of the reservoirs near the Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh border are visible to the north.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side provides the best view of the undulating terrain as you cross the border from Maharashtra into Chhattisgarh. Keep an eye out for the transition from basaltic Deccan trap rocks to the ancient sedimentary basins of Raipur.

Wainganga River
A prominent crossing of the Wainganga River, one of the most significant water bodies in the Vidarbha region.
Bhilai Steel Plant
A massive industrial landmark near Raipur; the sprawling steel complex is easily identifiable by its size and chimneys.
Durg-Bhilai Conurbation
The dense urban and industrial sprawl of Durg and Bhilai is clearly visible during the descent into Raipur.
Chhattisgarh Plains
The 'Rice Bowl of India' opens up with vast, geometric paddy fields that create a green and yellow patchwork quilt.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the industrial heartland. The metallic structures of the Bhilai Steel Plant reflect the golden hour light beautifully. During the monsoon, the numerous small irrigation tanks and lakes of the Bhandara district appear like scattered mirrors.
