Which side of the plane to sit from Sheikh ul Alam Airport (Srinagar) to Chandigarh Airport (Chandigarh)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the high Himalayan peaks and a superior angle of Dal Lake immediately after departure from Srinagar.
Dal Lake
Shortly after takeoff, enjoy a bird's-eye view of Srinagar's iconic lake and its famous houseboats.
Great Himalayan Range
Constant views of the majestic, snow-capped peaks forming the eastern horizon throughout the flight.
Chenab River
Visible as a silver thread carving through the deep mountain gorges of the Jammu region.
Dhauladhar Range
Dramatic views of the 'White Range' as you fly over the border of Himachal Pradesh.
Book a morning flight to see the sun illuminate the snow-covered peaks to the east. Seats behind the wing are preferable for unobstructed photography of the valley floor during the initial climb.
Srinagar Cityscape
A sprawling view of the valley's urban layout and the winding Jhelum river.
Banihal Pass
The strategic mountain pass connecting the Kashmir valley to the Jammu region via the Pir Panjal range.
Shivalik Foothills
The verdant transition zone where the high mountains descend into the rolling hills of the outer Himalayas.
Chandigarh Layout
Detailed views of the city's unique grid-based architecture and green belts during the final approach.
The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. During the descent into Chandigarh, watch for the sudden change from jagged peaks to the flat, organized plains of Punjab.
