Mahanadi River Basin
Catch glimpses of the wide riverbed and its tributaries shortly after takeoff from Raipur.
Maikal Hills
The eastern part of the Satpura Range, featuring sharp ridges and steep escarpments.
Narmada Valley
The sacred Narmada River snaking through the valley, often visible for a significant portion of the flight.
Jabalpur Outskirts
Distant views of the rocky landscape surrounding the 'Marble City' and the Dhuandhar region.
Malwa Plateau
The transition into the fertile, flat agricultural heartland of Madhya Pradesh as the plane nears Indore.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Keep a close eye out for the Narmada River about mid-way through the flight; its meandering path is best captured with a zoom lens when flying at cruising altitude.
