Which side of the plane to sit from Pune Airport (Pune) to Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (Indore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the dense Satpura mountain ranges and the wide Tapi river basin during the descent, along with a better view of Indore's urban sprawl upon landing.
Vimannagar Districts
Immediate views of the dense residential and commercial hubs surrounding Pune Airport during climb-out.
Tapi River Crossing
A striking view of the wide Tapi river valley, a major geographic boundary between Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
Satpura Range
Dramatic views of the Satpura mountain folds and forested ridges during the mid-flight descent phase.
Indore Skyline
Excellent views of the growing cityscape of 'Mini Mumbai' including the Rajwada area if approaching from the south.
Best viewed on morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Satpura ranges. If the flight lands on Runway 25, the right side provides a panoramic view of the entire Indore city. Keep an eye out for the Patalpani area's hilly terrain just before landing.
Northern Sahyadris
Aerial views of the rugged northern edge of the Western Ghats shortly after takeoff from Pune.
Pune Urban Sprawl
Clear views of the Hinjewadi IT corridor and the northwestern expansion of Pune city.
Godavari River Basin
The meandering path of the Godavari river near the Nashik-Ahmednagar border during the initial cruise.
Malwa Plateau
The transition into the flat, fertile agricultural plains of central India as you enter Madhya Pradesh.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly beautiful during the monsoon (July-September) when the Sahyadri mountains turn a vibrant emerald green with visible seasonal waterfalls.
