Our Recommendation
7.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the lush Maikal Hills and the iconic Upper Lake (Bhojtal) during the descent into Bhopal, especially when approaching from the east.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌾

Mahanadi Basin

The fertile plains surrounding Raipur, often referred to as the 'Rice Bowl of India,' visible during the initial climb.

🌳

Maikal Hills

Densely forested mountains that form the eastern base of the Satpura Range, offering deep green views.

🌊

Narmada River Valley

The silver thread of the Narmada River winding through the valley as the flight traverses central Madhya Pradesh.

🚤

Bhojtal (Upper Lake)

The massive, historic lake of Bhopal which dominates the landscape during the final approach into Raja Bhoj Airport.

🏛️

Bhopal Cityscape

A panoramic view of the 'City of Lakes' including its various water bodies and the sprawling old city minarets.

Morning flights provide the best lighting on this side without harsh shadows. Request a right-side window seat for the most scenic view of the Upper Lake during landing, which is the highlight of this route. Monsoon season (July-September) makes the forest cover exceptionally vibrant.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Raipur Urban Vista

A clear view of the sprawling capital city of Chhattisgarh and its growing infrastructure immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Satpura Ridges

Observe the southern folds of the Satpura Range, characterized by rugged peaks and deep forested valleys.

💧

Tawa Reservoir

A massive expanse of water located near Itarsi, providing a brilliant blue contrast to the surrounding green terrain.

🚜

Central Indian Farmlands

The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields that define the rural landscape of Madhya Pradesh.

Choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Satpura range without obstruction. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep the window shade partially down to manage glare.
