Pir Panjal Range
Stunning, close-up views of the rugged mountain spine separating Kashmir from the Jammu region.
Dal Lake
A glimpse of the iconic lake and the city of Srinagar during the initial ascent phase.
Nun Kun Massif
On clear days, the prominent twin peaks of the Zanskar range are visible in the far distance.
Chenab River Gorge
Watch the deep canyons carved by the Chenab river as it flows through the mountain valleys.
Himalayan Horizon
A continuous panoramic view of the high-altitude cloud line meeting the jagged peaks.
For the most dramatic lighting, choose a morning flight where the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains. The first 20 minutes are the most scenic; keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. During winter, the entire landscape is a pristine white blanket.

Gulmarg Meadows
The famous ski resort and the Apharwat peak are often visible shortly after departure from SXR.
Tosa Maidan
Expansive alpine pastures and dense coniferous forests that characterize the lower valley reaches.
Punjab Farmlands
A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields as the plane transitions from mountains to plains.
Delhi NCR
The massive urban density and architectural sprawl of the capital region during the final approach.
The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a great view of the transition from the high-altitude mountains to the flat Indo-Gangetic plains. Look out for the Ravi and Sutlej river systems as you head south.
