RPR β DEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Raipur Airport (Raipur) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the vast North Indian plains, the winding Yamuna river, and a high probability of spotting the Taj Mahal in Agra during the descent into Delhi.
Gangetic Plains
The iconic patchworked agricultural heartland of India, showcasing a vibrant quilt of green and gold fields.
Sone River
Cross over the wide, sandy riverbeds of the Sone River, a major southern tributary of the Ganges.
Taj Mahal
On clear days, the white marble silhouette of the Taj Mahal in Agra is visible approximately 20 minutes before landing.
Noida Skyline
The dense cluster of modern skyscrapers and planned urban layouts of Noida during the final approach.
Mahanadi Basin
Lush, river-fed landscapes immediately following takeoff from the Raipur plateau.
Sit on the right for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the Gangetic plains. Keep a sharp eye out for Agra's landmarks about 15-20 minutes before landing; the Taj Mahal appears as a distinct white speck near the river bend. Ensure your window is clean for high-altitude photography of the river systems.
Maikal Hills
Rugged peaks and dense forest cover of the Satpura range extension near the Chhattisgarh border.
Gwalior Fort
The massive hilltop fortress of Gwalior is often visible on the left during the mid-flight descent phase.
Yamuna Meanders
Spectacular sinuous loops of the Yamuna River as the flight enters the National Capital Region.
Bhopal Outskirts
Distances views of the 'City of Lakes' and its surrounding industrial and residential sprawl.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over Central India's plateaus without direct solar glare. It also provides a better angle for Gwaliorβs historic architecture during the initial descent phase.
