Search flights from RPR to HYD
Bhilai Steel Plant
One of India's largest industrial complexes, appearing as a massive grid of chimneys and warehouses shortly after departure.
Singareni Mines
Deep open-cast coal mines near Ramagundam offer a stark, unique visual of terraced earth and heavy machinery.
Golconda Fort
The historic 13th-century fort ruins are often visible on the city's western edge during specific landing patterns.
Hyderabad Skyline
A clear view of the modern HITEC City area and the Durgam Cheruvu Bridge as you approach the airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflecting off Hyderabad's glass buildings. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Bhilai Steel Plant right after departure from Raipur. If the wind is from the west, the descent will offer a spectacular view of the entire city's northern sprawl.

Mahanadi River
Visible shortly after takeoff, this major river provides a scenic start to the journey south.
Sitanadi Wilds
Glimpses of the dense, green forest canopies of southern Chhattisgarh's protected areas.
Godavari River
A significant river crossing near the midpoint, showcasing the geography of northern Telangana.
Ramoji Film City
During eastern arrivals, the sprawling sets and gardens of this massive film studio are visible.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is better for spotting the expansive river systems and the southern green belts of Chhattisgarh. Keep an eye out for the Godavari river bridge about 30 minutes into the flight.
